Special rules on keeping and giving access to health information
In addition to the HPPs, Part 4 of the HRIP Act sets out special rules for private sector persons or organisations in relation to:
- the retention of health information by health service providers,
- giving people access to their health information (including when access can be refused), and
- allowing people to amend their health information held by the person or organisation.
These provisions will be explained in the up-coming Handbook to Health Privacy. In the meantime, you can click here to access Part 4 of the HRIP Act.
