Patients’ confidential medical records are being placed on a controversial NHS database without their knowledge, doctors’ leaders have warned.
Those who do not wish to have their details on the £11 billion computer system are supposed to be able to opt out by informing health authorities.
But doctors have accused the Government of rushing the project through, meaning that patients have had their details uploaded to the database before they have had a chance to object.
What fresh cuntery is this, then? The government is dead keen to get our fucking medical records online for what possible reason?
Whatever it is, you just fucking know it's not going to end well for us, don't you?

Disease awareness? and early detection leading to prevention of potential pandemics?
Or research for genetic taxing?
I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about privacy or genetic taxes. You don't pay tax if you are dead.
The NHS supercomputer is the most complex computer database application that has ever been developed. It is the computer equivalent of the Manhattan Project that developed the atom bomb.
The government outsourced the project to a number of large, multinational IT companies. The large IT companies outsourced it to smaller IT agencies. The agencies outsourced it to 3rd world 'code brokers' who actually employed the individual contractors to do the work.
Of course, everybody took their cut of the £12 billion that went in at the top. Hence, many of the people who are cutting code for NHS IT are immigrant Asians who have been 'insourced' to data centres in the UK and who are paid less than minimum wage. Despite HM Revenue & Customs 'doing their bit' and exempting the immigrants from all UK tax and national insurance, you are not going to get highly skilled IT workers to come to the UK for less than £10k a year!
I've worked in one of the data centres where these unfortunates are housed. Rule 1 on the list of site rules posted everywhere: "You may only go to the toilet in designated toilet areas". Doesn't make much difference. Many of them can't read English so turds in the grounds and piss in the stair wells is still a considerable trip hazard.
Less than minimum wage, paid to functionally illiterate people who think a core dump involves bushes rather than buffers, to write code that your life will depend on if you are admitted to A&E. No thanks.
Having seen the state of some of the code being produced, I forbade my GP from putting my data into the NHS spine some time ago. I advise everybody else that I talk to to do the same.
What Anon says.
I'm glad you've taken off comment mod.
There's a link to a downloadable "Opt Out" PDF file half-way down this page:

A computer system can not cost 12bn squids.
That statement is not something I made up. It is a fact.
I have built one that works, is totally secure, can not be overloaded, and would require no equipment that does not already exist.
I did this for fun.
QED.
I will not let the NuLabs have it. Anyone else can when they get in.
Promise.
fuckety fuck fucking lazy employee why the fuckety fuck dont you fuckety fuck yop yourself do us a ll a favout cuntety cunt
Yup, Obno and well spotted.
We are just being farmed, we have no say just turn up to be milked then finally butchered for usable bits.
Mitch...funny you should say that, according to the Optimum Population Trust, headed up by Sir David Attenborough, our current population growth is unsustainable and needs to be cut. So how are they going to achieve this?
Contraception/abortion doesn't stem the tide enough. Culling? Extermination of those deemed unfit?
Shades of the nazis and eugenics?
