UK Government goes wiki

November 25th, 2005

The eGov monitor reports that the UK Government has launched its first wiki , on the topic of e-innovations,

Launched yesterday by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, the e-Innovations Wiki is offering an electronic channel to further discussions on innovation in local government

Last week, e-Health Insider reported that NHS Direct is proposing to set up an online social care wiki to allow patients to contribute their experiences of coping with illnesses and offer a site to where they can find support and services.

This could fundamentally change the way we as citizens engage with our GP’s, surgeons etc. and the health service per se. sharing, and colectively harnessing information that can empower the many people enabling them to better and more informed choices about their health care seems like a good idea to me

And also is an indicator of the trend towards a more direct involvement with democracy?
