Thank you. So this department has the authority and capability to ensure (to a reasonable degree) that Google does not abuse this data?

They have the job of doing so for the whole healthcare industry; and certainly have the authority. Capability is a question I'm less comfortable answering, but I would say that I see no evidence that they have a Google-specific problem in that regard. There is definitely a lot that could be done to improve enforcement capacity in the health data privacy and security space, and that's definitely something that should be pursued independently of whether some firms choose Google as BA.
