Editorial
Welcome to the first homepage edition of i2P for 2012.
In many ways it has been a slow start to the New Year because of having to deal with the “leftovers” from 2011.
One of those items for i2P was that a third-party provider to the site did not advise of a code change to the security section in our subscribe panel, creating a range of frustrated subscribers not able to get on board.
We apologise to all those potential subscribers who were unable to register with us in the second half of 2011, but if you try once more you should have no problem.

The National Health and Hospital Reform Commission (NHHRC) will be delivering its final report to the government on the 30th June 2009.
Those of us who have worked in the hospital system have, at that time, found themselves locked into a system that seemed to be set in concrete.
Lack of innovation and imagination, saddled with a range of ancient systems that cannot communicate with each other, it seemed that only a charge of dynamite could burst open the log jam and allow clinical flows and people to be managed properly and creatively.
Will that "breath of fresh air" follow on after the report delivery?
Whatever finally is allowed to happen will still take time to have an effect because what is really needed is a total change of culture, otherwise entrenched attitudes will continue the "status Quo".

'Biggest shake-up' since Medicare
BY TOM SKOTNICKI

A REPORT expected to be the blueprint for the biggest shake-up in health since the introduction of Medicare will be delivered to the Government on Tuesday.
The National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission will deliver its final report to the Minister for Health Nicola Roxon on June30.
It is expected to recommend the Federal Government take over the funding of public hospitals and appoint expert boards to operate hospitals and manage services. However, it is unlikely to recommend a full takeover of public hospitals by the Commonwealth from the states.
A spokesman for Ms Roxon confirmed the report would be received on Tuesday but would not comment on when it would be publicly released. ''It will be discussed and released in due course,'' she said.
The commission was established early last year to undertake the inquiry.
The commission's establishment followed growing concern over inefficiency caused by blame and cost shifting between jurisdictions responsible for different aspects of the health services.
