But just finally, Christine, is all your breast cancer information there in your My Health record, everything that's happening to you in hospital, is that all there as well?

This is a huge gap, which we are going to follow up in a moment with Dr. Amanda Hanser, who's the Chief Clinical Advisor of the Australian Digital Health Agency.

But Christine, thanks very much for joining us.

Thank you for having me.

And by the wonders of modern technology, Priya, we have Dr. Amandeep Hansra here with us, who's the Chief Clinical Advisor of the Australian Digital Health Agency and a general practitioner herself.

Thanks for joining us, Amandeep.

So we're here to sort of rejoice in the fact that you've had a million downloads to the 1-800-Medicare app, which used to be the My Health app.

And we've just spoken to Christine.

So before we rejoice in this, every time I talk about My Health Record, and I'm a believer to GPs, there's a moan that goes through the audience.

It's clunky.

It's still PDFs, believe it or not, not searchable documents and be able to move around easily through that.

There's no hospital information.

You just wonder how common a story like Christine's actually is, given how clunky this My Health app is, despite we've spent maybe half a billion dollars on it.

And just for information, so all pathology providers, all radiology providers have signed up to this.

So all results go into your My Health record?

The GP's too busy on the fax machine.

Amandeep, thank you very much for joining us.

Dr. Amandeep Hansra, who's Chief Clinical Advisor for the Australian Digital Health Agency.

And the app is called the 1800 Medicare app.

So what's in the mailbag this week?
