Recent Gransnet Post about Digital Medical Records

P.S The link to the NHS opt out page in the article includes the 'myth busting' section

'opt4 1 out'

Cat tripped daintily across my keyboard just before I pressed 'send'

I had a look yesterday, the 'myths' they busted weren't really related to the greatest fear, sale of our data to commercial interests. The By-Line Times article I read said that the new NHS bill doesn't specifically state that our data will not be sold. Which rings huge alarm bells.

Article and links to GP opt4
1 out and NHS opt out:

Page can't be accessed. Will try and look elsewhere.

It may be scaremongering or it may be true. It's certainly worth checking on. Access to complete medical records - unless the data is anonymised - would be a godsend for many commercial organisations.
