Are you going to keep your records "Private"?

[Patrick]

Asked at our Doctors for a Data Opt Out form (or whatever they're called) to be told they'd run out! Seems a lot of folk aren't impressed by the Government's great Privacy Sell off!

How about you?

NHS patient data to be made available for sale to drug and insurance firms Privacy experts warn there will be no way for public to work out who has their medical records or how they are using it

I picked up the form from the surgery today. Bollocks to them, they know enough.

Still know very little about it at our Doctors. Went away and discussed it then told us to try and find one "On the website". Though they didn't make clear which one. When I pointed out that other surgeries are making the details and the form available from their own sites - she said "I haven't got time to do everything".

They were quite efficient when we first joined this place - they're just becoming more incompetent by the week!

Apparently we got a leaflet but Jack threw it away.

I couldn't care less what people do with my data so long as they don't bother me with stuff.

So there.

Ooh you feisty thing you! (Hope all's well by the way?) I suppose I don't mind much about the information being banded about - it's just the fact that the Govt are going to be making money out of it! The whole thing is underhand and shoddy - like all their deals. The deals with the GM companies. The deals with other Healthcare Profiteers. The deals with the Frackers. Arthur Daley couldn't teach this lot anything about dodgy dealing - they're way ahead of him!
