The federal government is now making available recent statistics on the uptake and use of the PCEHR on its eHealth website but has still not released promised legislation enabling an opt-out version of the system and there is still no decision on the location or make-up of the $51 million trial sites of opt-out models.

There is also no word as yet on the make-up of an implementation taskforce that is expected to oversee the transition of responsibilities for eHealth from the National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA) to a proposed new Australian Commission for eHealth (ACeH).
