On Thursday the Federal government's opt-out period for the "My Health Record" expires.

It's expected more than 20 million Australians will then receive a digital health record.

Over the course of the "opt-out" campaign potential privacy breaches have been brought to light.

The Minister for Health, Greg Hunt, has legislation before parliament beefing up secondary data use and now says he will increase penalties for people who misuse the system.

But concerns remain and many want the opt-out period extended.





Guests:

Dr Nathan Pinskier - Melbourne GP and former chair of the RACGP's e-health Committee.

Dr Chris Moy - Adelaide GP and Clinical Reference Lead for the Australian Digital Health Agency, where he also sits on the Privacy and Security Advisory Committee.



David Vaile - Privacy and surveillance lead, Allen's Hub for Technology (Law and Innovation) University of New South Wales.
