The government has spent £20 billion of your taxpayer money on a useless, ineffective and insecure computerised NHS IT system. It has been a top down imposed disaster from day one led by the aggressive and obnoxious Richard Granger- truly a man for the world of new Labour bullshit projects. The fight back against this dangerous project is growing.
If you as a patient want your medical records uploaded onto a leaky information database do nothing.
If you as a patient want anyone and everyone to have access to your medical records then do nothing.
The government has set up the system on the assumption that everyone thinks the NHS spine is great and safe and trustworthy and so why would anyone raise any objections to it.
So if you think that the Government has no concept of confidentiality, and no idea about data security then you need to ACTIVELY OPT OUT.
If you want secure medical records, kept safely then write to your GP and ask him or her to add these codes to your medical records.
• 93C3 Refused consent for upload to national shared electronic record
• 93C1 Refused consent for upload to local shared electronic record
• 9Nd1 No consent for electronic record sharing
If enough of us do this then the whole of the CfH strategy will be scrambled, and the government will have egg on its face. More importantly doctors and patients will be able to communicate confidentially with each other.
Trial uploads have already happened in Bolton. They will be coming to other towns and cities very soon.
Dr Rant has already asked his GP to add these codes to his records.
If you need more convincing the links below give excellent evidence:-
Ross Anderson excellent article in February BJGPThe Big Opt OutDr Neil Bhatia and his colleagues. A Caldicott guardian who takes his responsibility to patient confidentiality with due seriousness.
Remember also that “prominent people” such as senior politicians will not have their data uploaded onto the NHS spine. Apparently they are worried it might fall into the wrong hands.
So are we at the Ranting House.
So too should you be!
OPT OUT NOW.
