How long will they take to reach thiEfBay?
Yokel notes this BBC report:
NHS e-records programme launched
It starts "The first patients' electronic records have been uploaded to the new NHS online database.
"Around 20 GP surgeries in Bolton and Bury have added 110,000 patients' details to the system, part of the £12bn NHS IT upgrade project.
"The e-records will eventually be available to NHS staff nationwide and contain details on medical conditions, current medication and allergies."
There is plenty more to read in the article.
Just how long will it be before joined up government puts them all on a DVD (probably a bit much data to fit in a CD) and loses it. With no word of an apology, the Minister of Health in Brussels will be quoted as saying just how it emphasises the need for EU wide ID Cards.
Yokel would sooner die untreated than submit his health records to that monstrosity!
