In an article in June's Health & Care Management it is reported that the Scottish Parliament's Health Committee, despairing of the slow uptake of telehealth, is recommending that targets are set for NHS organisations. While there is a very good chance that readers of Telecare Aware will applaud the desire to improve uptake, perhaps targets will be counterproductive and increase clinician resistance? As we know, doctors are even more inventive than the rest of us in finding ways to sabotage any initiative they take a dislike to. Are targets the best way forward? It would be interesting to hear readers' views. Cross Country. [If you get stuck trying to find your way to page 14 where the article starts, try looking just below your browser's toolbar.]
