Let's talk about Manage My Health only briefly.

Simeon Brown's interview with me yesterday was evidence that the Government wants to keep as far away from the issue as possible, while still giving the impression that they're very concerned.

His argument is that Manage My Health is a private company contracted by GPs, no direct government funding, so all I have to do is review it when the dust settles and take some learnings.

Now that is all true, but the core of our health service is public. And with GPs receiving funding for primary care from the Government, Manage My Health interacts with the public system, so the Government does have the say.

And the excuse that Manage My Health is private, so not under the Government's control is handy. Private ownership didn't stop Scott Simpson messing with PayWave. Private ownership hasn't stopped politicians threatening to break up supermarkets.

If he wanted to step in, he could. But he doesn't need the bother.

But there's a lot of people bothered by the breach, the latest sexual violence victims who don't want their records everywhere.

Now this is a weakness in a hybrid system of public and private. We get too many entities and too many chiefs and not enough accountability.

So the interesting thing to come out of this is the review that we will get eventually when we've just about forgotten about the whole mess. And the review will look at whether private platforms like Manage My Health meet the same high standards expected of public agencies regarding protection of sensitive patient data.

Simeon, I can write that for you now.
