This Freedom Of Information Request Review was processed last week:
Technical design documents for data deletion from MHR including backups
Justin Warren made this Freedom of Information request to Australian Digital Health Agency
This is the link to the outcome.
And this is the link to the final decision letter.
The decision basically says that a November 2018 document which describes how Accenture will delete records will not be made publically available.
As Justin commented:
“ADHA can also use the provisions in the #FOI Act to redact information from the documents to remove sensitive information. They have instead chosen to exempt the whole thing, claiming "deliberative material" is interwoven in the technical.”
You can read all the gory details from the link above.
I really struggle to understand just why technical details of how a record will be deleted on the basis of a valid request can be in anyway secret or sensitive.
That the ADHA refuses to disclose only makes one wonder if they really can and will permanently and totally delete a person’s record.
Thanks Justin for the effort but many more of us would like to know the facts here.
And while sorting this FOI matter out the new Board could also release full statistics on the meaningful clinical use of the MyHealthRecord over the last year. That they have not makes one wonder if they are not very significant in the overall scheme of things. Also we want to see how moving to opt-out is changing the usage stats!
David.
