My Health Record - Greg Barns

Wednesday, 19 September 2018 - 5:00pm to 5:30pm

This week on the show, we talked to Australian barrister and political commentator Greg Barns on the My Health Record controvercy. My Health Record is a new digital data system that compiles all health records into one location, accessible by a range of practitioners, organisations and officials within Australia. Greg talked to us about his concerns around security and the potential for discrimination by not opting out of the program.
