Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern addresses media at opening of telehealth service in Auckland.
The Ministry of Health s $38 million effort to create an online system to manage Covid-19 vaccinations is just putting money into a Silicon Valley billionaire s pocket , local IT industry group NZRise says. Previous criticism has centred on a security breach involving the data of more than 700 patients; the Government s inability - until this week - to provide accurate vaccination data; and the related issue of DHBs striking out on their own path, using different software systems, while they wait for the Government s new cloud-based solution to be fleshed out.
