As the Government moves ahead with its Surveillance Society agenda a piece at a time, it has been revealed that patients will be ignored over the privacy of their records.
Doctors and experts on computer privacy fear that the Department of Health is ready to ignore patients' wishes, despite concerns that by doing so it may breach privacy safeguards in the Data Protection Act and the Human Rights Act.
In a letter published on the website of the Government agency responsible for the computer scheme, NHS Connecting for Health, it is clear that the intention is to press ahead regardless of the wishes of individual patients: http://www.connectingforhealth.nhs.uk/news/department-of-health-responds-to-patients-over-electronic-care-records
The Big Opt Out campaign has more information about what is going on and includes a sample opt out letter to send to your GP.
So why not take a look, download the letter and show this Government that enough is enough.
