Market leading general practice management system vendor Medtech Global plans to decouple the roll out of the National Enrolment Service (NES) and the New Zealand Electronic Prescription Service (NZePS) in a move that may solve the impasse over the systems' implementation by general practices.

Medtech had been planning to roll out both services to its users at the same time, and to charge an activation charge for both services of $675 and a fee of $100 a month for ongoing maintenance and support.
