Its very probable that my details are among those lost. Interestingly, I've had customs and excise on my back this last week for data that this trust have failed to send them about my NI contributions. Hmmm. I'm torn on the database. I can see why having information on your medical history, where ever you may be in the country, would be extremely useful. To use a the "i'm pregnant" line again, I currently have to take my maternity notes all over the show with me, and being heavily pregnant and ultr5a forgetful, I do fear losing them. a centralised database would do away with the need for this.. And, surely it would be very useful for someone to know what medication, say a psychiatric patient, was on (or should have been on) would be useful. Its a toughie.
