The personally controlled electronic health record was announced in the 2010 budget. Since then over $1 billion has been spent on this record. More than a million people have registered for the electronic health record. I ask the minister what the Commonwealth has received for that $1 billion in investment for the personally controlled electronic health record? Can the minister inform the House of the findings of the review panel which Stephen Hambleton was part of? Can the minister outline the measures announced in the budget to improve the personally controlled electronic health record system? What benefits can a properly functioning e-health system in Australia provide?
