Head and neck surgeon Elizabeth Sigston does not believe that there should be any sharing of people’s medical records. Sigston says the $2 billion My Health Record system remains riddled with complexity, and she is very concerned about the proposed Data Sharing and Release Act, warning that it has the potential to override the Privacy Act. She says the risks associated with sharing data is most acute when it comes to genomic data, which the MHR is able to store. John Sutton of Armstrong Legal says there is no need for MHR data to be shared with third parties.
