Just like Halloween, to h(a)unt us?...


The Register reports:

Doctors urged to adopt default opt-out approach to care.data scheme
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/27/doctors_urged_to_adopt_default_optout_approach_to_caredata_scheme/

"... The care.data programme was scheduled to become operational
earlier this year but its implementation was postponed amidst concerns
about patient awareness of the scheme and their consent to the use of
their health data

NHS England has now announced the areas of the country in which the
care.data scheme will be piloted..."


Those are *your* personal medical records...

Cheers,
Martin
