[QUOTE="betic, post: 190585, member: 24374"] as far as i am aware, your medical records since being uploaded to the nhs spine are available freely to any group undertaking scientific research or other body who can demonstrate a clinical interest in their use. This was "allowed" a while ago when all clinical files were uploaded to the nhs spine as it was called at the time, but not many people were made aware of the facts. A few people did make a noise at the time and quietly were told to send a letter requesting their details not to be uploaded, and they would be ommitted from this new computor system. The downside was if you declined this permission and were hospitalised your records would not be available to the hospital for assistance in your care.... a bit of a catch 22 situation...there was no choice in not allowing your private health records being viewed by the non nhs individuals which ranged from university studies to companies with an interest in developing health products to the nhs or local government bodies. From what i can remember it was all linked in with statutory regulations brought about to enable the id cards to be allowed. something that never arrived but sadly all the intrusive regulations to invade ones personal life all still neatly in place!! car insurers are picking up on this now and checking ones records for non declaration i believe. The time was when a court order was needed to see your medical records, sadly the " if youve got nothing to hide" brigade put an end to that thing called privacy. [/QUOTE]
