Medical Records

[jno]

This doesn't seem to have been discussed anywhere, but Hancock's latest wheeze is for an all-encompassing digital collation of medical records - and more

"England’s NHS is preparing to scrape the medical histories of 55m patients, including sensitive information on mental and sexual health, criminal records and abuse, into a database it will share with third parties."

(That should be readable without a subscription.) I wouldn't trust any computerised system in the public service - has any ever worked and not been hacked? Ask your local sub-postmaster.

Personally I don’t give a fig. That ship sailed years ago.
Lay on, MacDuff.
