Thread Necromancy due to relevance.

It's been super quiet in the media, but for those who are still unaware (as I was until yesterday), today is the final day for Opting Out of the My Health Record. After today, the Government will create one for everyone who hasn't Opted Out of this.

I had a very informed read of this last night and a good discussion with my other half and we are deciding not to Opt Out. The privacy and security appears solid (as solid as you can for a new system anyway) and the potential benefits, for us, outweigh the risks, along with the access control they're saying users will have.
