Health Minister Greg Hunt to announce My Health Record changes
6 November 2018 - Health Minister Greg Hunt is poised to announce long-awaited changes to the government's My Health Record legislation to address privacy concerns, as call centre workers reported a last-minute rush to opt out of the controversial e-health system.
The minister, whose office is due to brief the federal opposition on the matter on Wednesday, has been under pressure to suspend the government's My Health Record rollout after a Senate inquiry recommended its enabling legislation be substantially rewritten to safeguard patient data.
A spokeswoman for Mr Hunt's office confirmed late on Tuesday that an announcement would be made shortly.
