When careplans & Health assesments were 1st introduced, we had to keep a paper copy of the form the patient signed. Due to various people lobbying the HIC it was changed after 12 months and as long as we indicate patient gave consent to health assessment / Careplan and you give patient a copy to keep that they sign, that is all that is required. Patient need not keep his signed copy.

My big beef about the DoHA/Medicare/other govt. bodies programs involving GPs, is that there are just too many of them for any one GP to be involved in more than a couple, but they want you all to be doing everything, which is crazy. Not to mention that each one of them is viewed as needing to be a complex piece of baroque art by the guys who design them.
