THE private health records of Australians can be accessed by more than half a million people under the latest bungle with the $2.2 billion electronic My Health Record. News Corp Australia has learned that the privacy settings on the governments computerised My Health Record, which lists every medicine a patient takes and records every medical visit and procedure, are automatically set on universal access. This means every registered health practitioner in the nation 650,000 people can view them, not just the family GP, unless the patient specifically requested to opt out. (English)
