Sharing administrative health data with private industry: A report on two citizens' juries.

Background: There is good evidence of both community support for sharing public sector administrative health data in the public interest and concern about data security, misuse and loss of control over health information, particularly if private sector organizations are the data recipients. To date, there is little research describing the perspectives of informed community members on private sector use of public health data and, particularly, on the conditions under which that use might be justified.

Methods: Two citizens' juries were held in February 2020 in two locations close to Sydney, Australia.

Medically unexplained chronic pain in Australia: difficulties for rehabilitation providers and workers in pain.

Unlabelled: In Australia, evidence of an ageing population and a skills shortage are imminent challenges for employers [5,50]. A further concern arises from the work injury and motor accident compensation schemes, where many claims for soft tissue injuries result in permanent impairment depriving the community of otherwise productive workers [85]. In many cases, it is chronic pain that becomes the major barrier to a return to productive work.
