Re: Examples Of IT

Thought I'd let you know this thing about the opt-out system for medical records, apparently if you don't opt out your records get uploaded to a central database to which hundreds of people, not just doctors, will have access to. Here's the FB page about it: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Protect-Your-Medical-Confidentiality-ACT-NOW/330345503401?v=info Don't know how much of it is paranoia but I'd rather err on the side of caution and opt out. It'd be fine if you've only got a couple of chest infections and a broken leg on your record and don't care who sees it, but a lot of people have stuff that could be used against them, like contraception history, or details of mental health problems. Anyway thought I'd link to it, hope you don't mind. Would be interested to hear your views on it actually.
