It seems that all of our medical records are on the net. I thought we were to be given a chance to opt out, has anyone received any correspondence on this? Is it right that any old public sector nose bag can view all our medical details? As this is a public sector IT project, notoriously sh1te, it'll be hacked in 5 minutes flat anyway, Worried? You should be, please get these control freaks out next chance, please!

Is it on the Web I thought it was restricted to their own NHS network ?

As a biker geezer you ought to support this - when they bring you in on a trolly there'll be a fair chance the overworked A&E consultant may have half a chance of putting you back together again!

Personally I think you should only be allowed to opt out if you're an organ donor

No, I don't think it is right. I think it's appalling. I can understand why medical records should be logged on a centralised system that can be accessed by GPs surgeries and hospitals, but there's no reason whatsoever that they should be available to anyone else. And no, I haven't received any correspondence on this.

What are you saying jake, only bikers crash? there may well be benefits but they are outweighed by the downside. For my own part there really aren't any medical records but I'm concerned on behalf of others.

Even if it's not hacked the data will still be available to every doctors receptionist which is the same as putting an ad in the paper
