NHS 20BILLION BIG BROTHER DATABASE IN BREACH OF PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY-MAJORITY OF DOCTORS AGREE

Doctors told: Shop patients who say
'NO' to NHS database

Daily Mail- Medical Correspondent
BRITAIN'S top doctor has told GP's to
reveal the names of Patients who want to stop their medical records
being put into a central NHS computer
Professor Sir Liam Donaldson the
Government's Chief medical Officer, yesterday sent the directive
following the launch of a national campaign encouraging patients to opt
out the [Big Brother] system.
[Knowing the track record of the
present Government in its devious and untruthful policies who in their
right mind would agree to have their confidential records put into a
computer system where any hacker could access the system or possibly
your confidential records will be left on a lap-top in any number of
locations as we have seen happen only recently with secrets of the
State. We have a Government which is committed to making EVERYONE
a number. Have you had an operation recently possibly a chip has been
implanted into your body so that they will know what you say and where
you are. Remember in our system of Government THEY ARE OUR SERVANTS so
we need to watch everything they do. DON'T TAKE THEIR WORD FOR
ANYTHING-THINK FOR YOURSELF AS INCREASING NUMBERS ARE NOW IN
BIG BROTHER BRITAIN.]
Sir Liam has instructed GP's to forward
to Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt any letters to be included in the
computerized database.
BUT
The British Medical Association
- last night told GP's
NOT TO COMPLY
-as it could put patient privacy at
RISK.
Dr Hamish Meldrum, chairman of the
BMA's GP's Committee, said:
' The Chief medical Officer's
intervention is not helpful [In other words he should keep his nose out
of a highly sensitive matter ONLY the concern of PATIENTS and DOCTORS.]
and GP's should not forward these letters [As confidentiality would be
breached].
'It is possible that some patients
might think this is a breach of confidentiality in that a letter sent to
their GP is forwarded to somebody else without their consent.'
[Surely ANY correspondence sent to a
doctor would be covered by the CONFIDENTIALITY RULE-]
There has been growing concern over an
'electronic warehouse' called the SPINE part of the NHS's £20 billion IT
upgrade, that will contain information on up to 50million patients.
The BMA says it is wrong to expect
'implied ' consent from patients about whether they want their records
included in the system - instead of asking them.
[Did they ask them about IRAQ ?-
Did they ask them about Afghanistan? Did they ask them about ID cards
?-Did they ask them about a United States of Europe which Tony Blair
signed 25 times in Rome last year? Did they ask them about Terrorist
legislation which the Government engineered by their previous actions in
order to gain more control of the population? We could go on infinitum
but time is short.]
A poll of doctors last month
found more than half unwilling to allow patient data to be uploaded
without getting their express permission.
[We are more than a little surprised
that ANY doctor would contemplate such a gross abuse of patient
confidentiality-it shows that many doctors have been enticed into being
not only paid servants of the STATE but are helping along their BIG
BROTHER policy at the same time.]
More than 60 per cent of GPs fear the
system would be vulnerable to hackers and unauthorized access by public
officials from outside the NHS and social care
[The
system would also be a golden opportunity for BLACKMAIL to flourish and
we know already what a powerful weapon this can be to endanger the
security of OUR COUNTRY.]
The poll follows calls for an urgent
inquiry into the computer system -the biggest civilian IT project in the
world-which is already three years late and over budget.
Last month 23 eminent scientists raised
major concerns about the Connecting for Health project, which has been
blamed for problems causing 110 major incidents in hospitals over a
four-month period. Lives may have been put at risk after X-ray systems
crashed and dozen hospitals lost access to their main computer systems.
Professor Ross Anderson professor of
security engineering at Cambridge University who is one of the group of
23 scientists, said:
'In this letter Sir Liam Donaldson
instructs GPs to forward to the Secretary of State all letters sent to
them by patients by patients opting out of the CENTRAL NHS DATA
COLLECTION.
'This would be a clear breach of
patient confidentiality if GPs were to follow his instructions. It is
entirely up to the patient to decide whether to send an opt- out letter
to their GP, to Miss Hewitt, or to both.
[All correspondence sent to a GP should
be treated as confidential. No patient should be asked or permitted to
allow any correspondence to be forwarded to a Government body. The
patients can themselves if they wish send information to anyone they
please but it should not be the doctors place to do so. A number
of patients might not be aware of the great consequences of their action
in agreeing to have their letters forwarded to a Government Department.
Who knows what this Government really gets up too until the legislation
has been swiftly passed and the massive complaints follow . We have seen
what their track record has been in nine years and the immense damage
they have afflicted on the People and the COUNTRY. There is only
one word of advice 'DON'T']
'It is not for the Government to
decide unilaterally to over-ride the wishes of those patients who decide
to write to their GP but not to Miss Hewitt.
Data from the Joseph Rowntree Reform
Trust's -STATE of THE NATION poll, due for release in early December,
shows the public is also worried. More than half of adults questioned by
the pressure group opposed the proposal that patients should have no
right to opt out of the DATABASE.
[Well we have to blame many of the
voters in the country who have gone along with the New Labour sovietised
COLLECTIVE POLICY which takes POWER away from the PEOPLE. Many who
voted for that policy must now be regretting THEIR ACTION.]
Phil Smith national co-ordinator of
campaigning group
NO21D
said:
'This is an outrageous potential abuse
of patient confidentiality by the
CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER
[Sir Liam Donaldson]
He should withdraw this
instruction to GPs immediately.'
A spokesman for the Department of
Health denied there was any breach of patient confidentiality.
[Well they would wouldn't they -
they now realize that their threatening manner has rebounded on them and
they as is usual will protest and then retreat exclaiming they were
misunderstood. REALLY? ]
'She said doctors who have received
opt-out letters have asked the departments what they should do with
them.
[Well this was a fatal mistake on the
part of the doctors -their route should have been to the BMA and NOT to
the heavy- handed Government]
She said: The CMO's advice to GPs
is to forward the letters to the Secretary of State -and these are
letters that have probably already sent directly to the Secretary of
State for Health from PATIENTS.
'It's perfectly appropriate for the
GOVERNMENT'S CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER
Sir Liam
Donaldson
-to advise GPs what to do with the
copies they have received.
'The content is in the public domain
already, therefore there is no breach of patient confidentiality.
[We sincerely hope that the Chief
Medical Officer has allowed time to consider what the dire results would
be if the Government mishandles the approaching Bird Flue pandemic]

[What piffle they expend in their
struggle to justify their infringement of patient confidentiality.
Contents apart it was the very action of the CMOs advise which infringes
that CONFIDENTIALITY. WE await developments on this crucial matter which
will decide whether the PEOPLE RULE or the supposed SERVANTS of the
STATE with their gold-plated pensions and utter disregard for the PEOPLE
THEY [SHOULD] SERVE]

So You Want Out
Of The EU
THEN WHY NOT SIGN THE
RENUNCIATION of EU CITIZENSHIP
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Optout
Details from petition creator
With the signing of the Maastricht
Treaty the people of Britain were given
DUAL CITIZENSHIP
-both
EUROPEAN and BRITISH
The extra tier of citizenship was
thrust upon the people without their consent -and in many cases
knowledge.
The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN should be
allowed the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so
wish. The GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who have opted
out with
BRITISH DOCUMENTATION
-only such as British (not EU)
passports, driving licences and other national documents.
EU laws will also NOT APPLY to those who
HAVE OPTED OUT OF EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP
[PETITION OPEN UNTIL
OCTOBER 08]
