Health Minister Greg Hunt joins our consumer forum in Frankston

The benefits of My Health Record and in particular the move to an opt-out system were enthusiastically discussed and Minister Hunt showed his 100% support for its success. Privacy issues were raised and Meredith went into great detail to inform the group about the consumers’ control of privacy through the various settings on the record, and also the benefits of having a conversation with your clinician to ask them to not put a document into the record.

Minister Hunt stressed how My Health Record has useful clinical content available to patients and their health and care professionals – and confirmed the positive engagement the Agency has had with pathology, radiology and pharmacy providers among others.
