My comments on this to the privacy list a short time ago:

[More sub-editor incompetence:
1)  'gets' is being used in the imaginative future sense rather than 
the present tense
2)  there are only a couple of words on the 'bio smartcard', and 
they're all vague ]

[Unfortunately SA has a long, long record in announcements of 
potentially valuable projects that never go anywhere.  The (lack of) 
scale is a major problem there;  and the 'bio smartcard' idea has 
been looked at and dropped by many, much larger organisations than SA 
Health. ]
