Independent healthcare consulting firm HealthConsult will release a public consultation paper this week to restart the postponed conversation on the secondary use of data from the My Health Record system.

HealthConsult was appointed in August last year to develop a draft framework and implementation plan to facilitate the secondary use of de-identified data for research and policy purposes but a planned series of consultations was postponed due to the large number of other consultations taking place at the time, including for the national digital health strategy.
