Thanks from me too Ian, I had a look, but since I'd already pestered them this afternoon, I thought that sending that through tonight may confuse them further
I'm glad its being delayed, there seems to be an awful lot of people who dont know about it.. and much confusion from the GP aspect too
If its not sorted in another couple of months and they cant get their act together I may just opt out of the whole lot entirely. The confusion and incompetence up to date doesnt bode well for the future and how secure your records are.
I was discussing this matter this afternoon with my daughter as she'd come with me.. and she also was concerned about the 3rd party aspect.
Im totally concerned about the privacy aspect and just who does have access to what. Its like she says, could it give your employer right to access your info, and just who could access it... like theres mention of the police... it only takes one rouge person to be on the take who may have access and sell on your info.
Theres also other aspects to be bourne in mind (not that any apply to me), but what if you have records on their about sexual health aspects, or say an abortion... those things should be kept private, if that information got in the wrong hands it could lead to devastation for some people. We all know what the media is like and how they can sometimes get their hands on stuff they shouldnt.
