So Kate, do you "reckon" that the 20 million more records will inundate DHS while seeing discharge summaries and pathology results in their MyHR. Nice to see your own opinions absent this time.

I reckon a lot of errors will show up when MBS and PBS data is added to 20 million new records when they are created and people take a look at them, and then ring DHS to get them fixed. I have no reason to doubt that actual clinical data will be wrong, but MBS and PBS data is not clinical.

My own opinions are always absent from my news stories.
