[LUG] NHS computerisation: Opting out

 

Has anyone heard anything about this

http://www.nhsconfidentiality.org/

The NHS Confidentiality campaign was set up to protect patient
confidentiality and to provide a focus for patient-led opposition the
government’s NHS Care Records System. NHS Care Records are currently
being rolled out and will form a huge national database of patient
medical records and personal information (sometimes referred to as the
NHS ’spine’) with no opt-in or opt-out mechanism for patients at all. It
is very much akin to the government’s proposed ID database.

Is there a problem?
