I went to my GP tonight to put in a prescription, to gain access you go through a porch with two doors either end. It is often used as a cut through.
Tonight when I went to the reception desk, I was told the clerical papers to request the prescription are in this porch, it asks for your name, address, DOB, and prescription required. You then have to put it in a flimsy wicker basket with a lid you open and it has no lock.
I usually do my prescription online via the app, but it seems to have a problem at the moment. I was uncomfortable leaving this amount of information here in a unattended place, with lots of footfall, given the amount of information you have to give.
I took the written request to the receptionist and was told to put it in the box. I said no as I felt there was a data protection breach.
I must say I was shocked that everyone had access to my details. If the box was more sturdy, locked and you put your request in the top like a post box I would not have minded.
I am posting this for others opinions, as I am feeling very tired, I had a busy day at work and dont know if perhaps I am being a bit unreasonable.
