Breaking News - AMA President Refuses To Insist On Proper Privacy Controls On myHR Data!

At the National Press Club, despite being asked repeatedly, he refused to say he would withdraw AMA support of the myHR roll out unless the Section 70 issues were addressed. Said he would talk with Minister Hunt and ask him to sort it out. He also said that the AMA was speaking out because the ADHA was making such a hash of what he thought was a wonderful initiative that he thought was vital. (i.e. the ADHA Communication Strategy was a flop), He did not mention the A MA MOU from around Budget time that bound the AMA to support the myHR in exchange for an increased Medicare Rebate. To me was a very inglorious and obfuscatory performance. It will be fun to see how the assembled press report the speech. David.
