As an Australian our public healthcare has a lot of trust as does does the public sector that operates it. What we don't trust is government IT initiatives. Our political class do not understand technology and in this country nobody takes responsibility for creating, managing and verifying their own IT systems. IT here is all about procurement. Everything is outsourced. Nobody knows what the hell they are doing and there is no way they even understand the systems and services they are buying. I have no confidence in their ability to protect health data.
