Michael Webster: Privacy Commissioner on the inquiry finding Health NZ and Manage My Health breached privacy code
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
Both Manage My Health and Health NZ are vowing they've made big changes following last year's cyber-attack on 100 thousand patients.
The Privacy Commissioner has found both failed to protect patient data.
Phase Two of his review will ask whether people actually knew their data was being held in the health portal.
Michael Webster told Mike Hosking we can't afford to be lax when it comes to private data.
He says health information is highly sensitive, and there needs to be a greater commitment to protecting it on such platforms.
