Piss off Patsy

Patricia Hewitt wants to know who doesn't want her department to have access to their medical records. Sir Liam Donaldson is the rotweiler that is putting the bite on GPs to release the names and addresses of those people who don't want their medical records putting on the national spine. So you can't ask for confidentiality on confidence!

In the meantime the government is handing over the names and addresses of patients to Mori so that they can send out questionnaires. Anyone concerned aboout keeping visits to their GP confidential should email gppatientsurvey@dh.gsi.gov.uk with their name and NHS number before Friday the 8th. Another Public Service Announcement from Aberystwyth No2ID.
