I refer to Budget Paper 2, Volume 2, page 378 and point 1.8 under the Asset Investment Program, and I ask: (a) What is the breakdown of the $1.6m spend; (b) Specifically for IT are any of these upgrades proposed for the regions or are they centrally based in the metropolitan area; (c) I believe Advanced Health Directives (AHDs) fall under the Attorney General portfolio and the Department of Justice - has the Department considered digitising AHDs and if yes, what is the projected cost. If no, why not; and (d) Will these be integrated into a database such as My Health Record, One Stop Shop or MyGov?
