The NHS (Big Brother) will have your patient records!

According to this article, NHS Lincolnshire PCT is going to get some of their local GP's patients who have opted out of having their records uploaded to the local NHS patient records database in for a chat!

I not sure what the local PCT might be trying to do here, but threatening your local patients with what seems to be a line out of a mafia film will not endear them to local patients.

I think also the local PCT may well find that what they are doing is against the law. Maybe they have been told by the Bigger central government Brother, that there can be no dissenter and everyone must comply!

  • There is a big difference between inviting people in for a chat and threatening them. It is likely that the PCT wants to understand why they opted out. This information would enable the PCT to improve its service.

  • From ID cards to centralised health records government departments would benefit from open consultations to understand our concerns, promote the benefits and come to an agreed way forward.
