        <text id="201209052dc45e9a5c7e41b980000248">1.&amp;#x9;The implementation of the Oracle Corporate System (OCS) and transition of SA Health finance staff into a centralised function (i.e. Integrated Finance Structure) has been a complex task. Change management associated with new roles, responsibilities, system and business processes was more difficult than anticipated, with our focus continuing to be on providing additional training and reinforcing the benefits and purposes of the reform agenda.</text>
        <text id="201209052dc45e9a5c7e41b980000249">2.&amp;#x9;Once fully implemented, it is anticipated that the move to Oracle and concomitant closure of legacy systems will equate to around $9.9 million of savings per annum.</text>
