NSW Health

More than 1,000 medical records of over 400 patients were found on the floor of the derelict and former site of the Garrawarra Centre ,an aged care facility operated by the NSW Government.

A selection of documents obtained by the ABC and safely returned to NSW Health had been cleared of asbestos contamination.

People shouldn't be able to see those records, they're personal, and that home is supposed to have a duty of care.
