Kazu, the group/individual behind the ManageMyHealth breach, has posted some samples of the data for verification and they all appear to be legitimate.

Among other things, there are test results (ie; Labtests), referral letters, patient health summaries, hospital ED summaries and other letters

A potentially significant decision from Ombudsman Boshier, seemingly expanding the reach of s2(5) #OIA (the contractor clause) to cover contractor internal emails about the contracted work done:

4/8 The human cost of this "experiment" was immediate and severe.

In Calgary:

👉 #WaitTimes for #LabTests ballooned from days to five weeks.

👉 Critical #diagnostic #errors spiked, with 145 #patient-impacting #errors reported in a single month—including #missed #diagnoses of serious conditions.

please take my tax cut back and use it to pay for sharing of records between my GP, Labtests and hospital.
Classic Luxon and in a similar vein to what he pulled at his last job. Digital projects that would boost productivity cancelled, deferred or delayed to try and make immediate numbers look good. All the while the tumbleweed grows... #nzpol
$381m Budget cut could trap health system in 20th century
Programmes to share health information between hospitals, GPs and specialists have been scrapped or put on ice due to funding cuts, writes Marc Daalder.

went with spouse to get blood tests and heard someone in another lab room having a big racist rant about how Pakeha are victims of land theft too and no one knew what the LabTests rebrand means 🙃

HOW OFTEN... should A1c tests be used to monitor patients with #T2DM? 🤔

👉 UBC TI Letter + patient handout: ti.ubc.ca/letter161

"For patients with stable type 2 diabetes meeting glycemic goals, monitoring HbA1c every 6 months is as effective as every 3 months"

But it applies to social services as well.

When Labtests won the contract for Auckland lab services off Diagnostic Medlab years ago because they were "cheaper", they were actually pitching a reduced service.

Way fewer collection points, it's more of a pain to get tests done.

Unlocked a new annoyance on my urgent blood test days - bringing in your toddler who needs all 3 phlebotomists to hold them down, while I’m frantically trying to flag down someone so I can actually get my tests done and on the courier before the retirees come in. God I hate Labtests.

I was at Labtests for thyroid and cholesterol tests, and the results came back for diabetes! Dunno how that happened, but I suppose knowing I haven't got diabetes is a plus.🤔

Next installment :
I was the only person of ~10 waiting at LabTests who was wearing a mask. The person sitting next to me started coughing and sniffing. I moved to the other side of the room. Coughing person went up to the counter to get tissues, ignoring the box of free masks beside the tissues.
