The NSW Health Web site looks at information such as waiting times for patients to be treated in triage departments around the state.
Justine Waters, associate director of information production and distribution at NSW Health, said the site was set up to inform in plain English what happens in the health system every day.
Waters believes the site is a first for Australia, and there are plans to extend information available to the public. She said NSW Health would be adding details about other health services, in addition to acute services, in the future.
Good to see the eventually came clean with their delays!! I have tried to do business with NSW Health and a year later they have not put the matter on the agenda!! They are either extremely inefficient and old-fashioned in their approach to technology or there are some political games being played inside to keep the public in the dark. The whole lid needs to be lifted on NSW Health to see where the road-blocks in information are! There is some serious mismanagement going on in there! I sense Westmead has some serious hard-core bureaucrats that need to be weeded out and sacked or moved on to let younger more uptodate people take over! Too many dinosaurs in there! The Western Suburbs are full of battle-axes. They won't say die and let progress come to the fore! I live out here next door in Merrylands and see it!
