Single point in who's perspective though, OP worded it more like (s)he cares about his/her data not everyone else's (e.g. "I visit another doctor when on holiday - they don't have my records"). But yes, you are right about it being in general a higher risk endeavour. The question now is though, when other commenters here describe how their life and career could get in danger when someone steals their data, which do you think is going to be much harder to breach, your local doctor's office or a central database that's guarded by armed guards and experts?

Who’s going to break in to a doctors office, then scan and upload your medical records? I don’t think thieves in Australia would even bother with doctors offices because no drugs or cash. Rather, it seems certain that this database will be breached and the data sold on the black market, and / or some future government using it outside its intended scope.
