Concern about potential problems with privacy has been growing in recent days.

Yesterday, the Federal Opposition called for the rollout to be suspended until the concerns were addressed.

People have three months to opt out of the government-run scheme that puts the medical records of all Australians online.

It can include information such as prescriptions, allergies and medical summaries.

People can set privacy controls over who can access that information, but one of the concerns raised has been that people won't necessarily be aware of that option.

Federal MPs including Liberal Tim Wilson and Labor's Ed Husic both said they were taking themselves out of the system.

The Australian Medical Association (AMA) and the College of General Practitioners have both raised issues.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said today those concerns would be addressed.

"Doctors … who support My Health Record have raised some issues which they have discussed with the Health Minister, and they will be addressed," he said.

"But this is a program which has had bipartisan support for a long time."

Health Minister Greg Hunt is due to meet the heads of the AMA and the College of General Practioners next week to discuss the scheme.

Mr Turnbull moved to ease concerns by saying if refinements were needed, they would be made.

He has not given any details about how it would be changed, but the ABC understands the pressure is to amend the legislation to limit those who can get access to the records.

Mr Hunt's spokesperson said no health records would be released without a court order or personal permission.

Mr Turnbull said the Government was absolutely committed to maintaining the privacy of the My Health Record system.

He noted that the scheme was set up in an earlier form under the Labor Government six years ago.

"The fact is that there have been no privacy complaints or breaches with My Health Record in six years and there are over 6 million people with My Health Records," Mr Turnbull said.
