Patient Records

In reply to Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (24 February 2016).

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries): The Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (South Australia) Act 2010 requires registered health practitioners and employers of registered health practitioners, to advise the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) if they have formed a reasonable belief that a health practitioner has behaved in a way that constitutes notifiable conduct in relation to the practice of their profession. I can advise that AHPRA has been notified about these breaches in relation to inappropriately accessing patient records for which the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (South Australia) Act 2010 is applicable.
