Glad to hear it Might be more sensible in NSW with hospitals the MRN number rather than the Victorian U.R.N.

As I said, the Medicare number is taken to confirm the patient is Medicare eligible, we had a case where a child was in the ICU with a recorded Medicare number. Then a patient presented to the ED with the exact same Medicare number. It turned out the child in the ICU was the ineligible patient and was using his cousin's number. The mother then had to arrange a repayment plan to cover the expenses incurred (with a significant discount because of the exceptional circumstances) and yes it can also be used to recover chargeable items from Medicare.

On the URN, NSW planned to introduce the URN but encountered significant resistance, however as Health Areas are essentially one entity on multiple sites with the patient record information stored electronically the information is available across multiple sites. e.g. digital medical imaging recorded in Nowra or Wollongong are frequently read by specialists located in Kogarah.

Now we're talking public domain as opposed to departmental / governing bodies...

Agree private info on travel etc is not for marketing.

Given that you can be fined for even touching a mobile phone whilst driving, if you are pulled over and asked to show your licence, you could then be pinged if you do not select Park or turn off your engine etc??

i was thinking the same thing.


in nsw a guy didnt have his licence on his, but he lived a block away.
the cop kindly allowed him to walk home to get it.
the guy came back and had a parking fine from the police.

You can touch the phone as long as it's attached to the vehicle???
