Minister axes medicines review program after allegations it breached patient privacy
Gordon Legal is calling for veterans to sign up to a potential class action lawsuit.
A 20-year-old health program targeting polypharmacy and undertreatment in veterans has ended after allegations it shared the health data of 300,000 patients with a university without proper consent.
Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Matt Keogh said on Monday he was stopping the Veterans’ Medicines Advice and Therapeutic Education Services (MATES) program due to concerns from patients about its opt-out consent process.
