Online records for Patients

I use this website which is only available in Scotland so far, its very useful:

Sweepstake for how quickly it all falls over on launch day?

This one might need watching. My GP surgery notes that 'Before accessing SCR, permission would be sought from the patient whose notes are being accessed, except in emergency situations, when a patient is not in a position to give their consent (i.e. they are unconscious).
Despite this assurance of security of access, there continues to be concern about the potential for unauthorised access to the records.
There are also concerns about clinical information “getting lost”, either because it is attributed to the “wrong” patient; or no prioritisation of information is being undertaken, so that a trivial entry receives the same apparent weight of a life threatening condition.
To date there has been very limited independent evaluation of SCR, and no assessment of its impact, positive or negative. However, a full evaluation has been commissioned, and the report should be available over the next few months. The BMA has urged the government not to further roll out the programme of SCR until this report is published, but this has been ignored'
Note also Medical Reseach and Pharmaceutical companies have been granted access to online surgery Medical records.

I am choosing to withhold consent for the moment, until some of these issues are clarified. But that's just me.
