THE Gillard government’s $500 million personally controlled e-health record program will come under scrutiny at a Senate inquiry into the enabling legislation tabled in Parliament last week.
The Selection of Bills Committee has referred the PCEHR bills for examination of issues related to the system’s design and capabilities, security and the potential for exposure of sensitive information.

Responses are due by January 12 2012. Just the usual nonsense of asking for submissions on serious matters over the holiday period. Treat the public as idiots as usual it seems!
