Subject: Official Information request - Third-party sources for medical information

[Some people who received this message don't often get email from [FOI #18698 email]. Learn why this is important at http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentifica...

Patients are being advised by BOPDHB that they cannot access information in their medical histories from third-party sources. This doesn't align well with the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers' Rights. Who are these third-party sources and how much has been paid to them?

Best regards,
Tobias Ellison
