For Information - It is important to note that 16 months after go live we have only 0.04% of the population  with a record for a cost of roughly $100 each. Hardly a raving or cheap success just yet.
The really telling statistic is that only 27,000 of the 1 million who have registered have actually added their own summary. The fact is the system is a hardly used white elephant.
