The NHS Confidentiality campaign was set up to protect patient  
confidentiality and to provide a focus for patient-led opposition the  
government’s NHS Care Records System. This system is designed to be a  
huge national database of patient medical records and personal  
information (sometimes referred to as the NHS ’spine’) with no opt-out  
mechanism for patients at all. It is being rolled out during 2007, and  
is objectionable for many of the same reasons as the government’s  
proposed ID database.
