Healthlink & MMEx health related systems.

David Lawson made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health

The request was partially successful.

From: David Lawson

Dear Ministry of Health,

It would be appreciated if you could provide to me all Official Information in relation to the Healthlink and MMex health information systems.

In your response please provide all official information on how an individual can gain access to all correspondence that has been transferred using this system.

It would also be useful to have provided all official information as to how long the information that has been transferred in these systems can be retained within this network for other treatment providers to access.

Please also provide any and all official information as to whether this system can be used to store notes, and or information on a health client which can be retained on either of these systems for periods of time. Also whether there are a list of indicators that are able to be attached to theses systems that identify the individual for certain criteria and or certain levels of health provision.

Please also advise who is responsible for the management and overseeing of these systems. If it is not the ministry of health, what agency should I seek this information from.

Please return your reply through FYI, and thank you for your time and assistance.

Yours faithfully,

David Lawson
