force care.data on the GPs, they will force it on YOU anyway.
These people work for you, you are their employer and they treat you like crap, shoving your face into their corrupt mess. Disgusting, that they intend to sell fully identifiable databases of patients records to anyone who wants them for a few quid. Once passed on to a shell company they can be resold to neighbours, stalkers, insurance companies, nutters, etc. without any recourse to the original distributer, care.data. They take you for fools, don't let them or you will be the fool!
"ensuring medical records flow seamlessly from one hospital to another as people move around" has never been the intention of care.data. Tracking diseases and research are simply misleading sidelines and a cover for the true intention of care.data. Most researchers and medical personnel in hospitals won't have access to it.
Care.data would not have helped your dad at all. Medical personnel, such as hospitals, GPs, A&E, health professionals, emergency services, etc. are banned from using care.data to provide care.
The only intended use of the database is to provide private companies with identifiable, full medical information. The proposed merging of Summary Care Records with care.data at stage 3 will enable the purchase (without checks to security or usage) of identifiable full medical histories to companies and individuals who have a few quid. The misleading mantra that insurance companies won't be given identifiable medical records is simply laughable, as a company buys them, then legally sells it on to another part of the group.
NHS England are supposed to be in need of £6billion, so why do they keep wasting money on a failed, immoral idea?
Under phase two, Summary Care Records will be merged with care.data. This will make all records identifiable and anyone will be able to buy the records for a few pounds. Think DVLA, only with your identifiable full medical records.
Banned from any access will be GPs, hospitals and health professionals. It is about selling your identifiable medical records on the open market for spamming and gossip.
It is only the figures for the US. The rest of the world buys differently to one single country, which makes the figures look very suspect as a way of informing people of sales. It is the equivalent to using one companies figures to say that all companies have the same financial results.
Highly misleading, unless you are made aware of the difference. Poor reporting by El Reg for once.
said exactly the same thing about the Titanic. The taxpayers will be fleeced again. The same people did the trials on ID cards and they were cost saving, in on time and ever so successful and they got a huge bonus for failure. Same again, as long as that failed PM, IDS is in charge.
No one will suffer except for the claimants, but they can starve (probably will anyway) as long as the government paper-shuffling wallahs get paid huge bonuses.
I have kept them hosted here, but the UK will have to do without my finance from now on. Again the UK is maliciously targeted by the corrupt EU in another attempt to ruin our lead in IT, the politicos are too busy on their knees pleading for jobs on the gravy train.
Cookie law, absolute rubbish, dreamt up on a wet Friday afternoon by a bunch of overpaid foreign jobsworths.
According to the National Grid, at the moment Nuclear has an output of 8.2GW, wind has an output of 0.8GW.
That makes a ratio for nuclear at 10 times wind on a typical day. Too much notice is taken of wind maximum capacity rather than actual output. Wind power is like buying an expensive pint of beer and being served a few dregs in the bottom of the glass..
'100 percent of the money rebated to all legal residents' . Amazing, the first tax in the world with zero administration costs. No-one paid to collect it, no-one paid to check on the amount, no-one paid to distribute it. If climate change is as accurate as his economics, then he is way out on his theories. Another piece of pseudo science, mumbo-jumbo without any reality involved.
By the time the council has debated it, gone through all the paperwork, paid all the staff to check on what was needed, asked a dozen jobsworths to research it, asked another dozen to shuffle the paperwork, it will cost the council about £750,000 to implement it. Progress at last.
with their, 'Crucially, Met Office forecasts save lives' mass delusions of grandeur.
I also notice that they are breaking the new cookie law as the cookie info is not 'prominent' on their pages, but tucked away in a bottom strip of other info. Won't do at all...(wonder what they are on, I need a dose of it to get over the rain and flooding that they didn't forecast.)
completely ignored by all the other EU countries as completely unworkable and interfering?
Ah, I see, the UK gov wants to fine people to get money out of anybody in the UK at any cost to the economy. Just another anti-UK law by dim politicos in the EU. Time for us to leave, come on Dave, give us a vote on In or Out.
We have had FTTC installed locally and the internet speed stayed exactly the same. I was informed that I could pay an EXTRA £240 per year for the last bit of connection to be fitted on my line in the cabinet, which could possibly increase the speed a little, I declined to be ripped off.
So much for a non-existent upgrade.
is easy with speed scameras.
Prior to speed scams being set up, all accident figures within a 3km. radius of the site are used as justification. Even accidents on distant roads or on neighbouring housing estates are quoted as 'at the proposed camera site'. After the speed scams are installed, any accidents only on the same road on a length of 0.5km are then considered as 'at the camera sites'. Close to where I live, there were no fatal accidents on the actual road with the cameras prior to installation, following there were 2 fatalities. The local Unsafety Partnership claim that they were installed to save lives and refused to remove them. The cash collecting scameras are still in place after 8 years, despite more and more accidents 'at the sites'.
Don't believe any released figures unless you can check the validity of accident causation, as only 7% of all accidents are due to excessive speed and then a small proportion of those actually exceed the speed limit. Having told motorists that speeding is a major cause of accidents (NOT), the government can't say they have wasted billions on the wrong safety issue.
By putting the fraud and error figures together DWP hides their biggest problem. Error is running in excess of 5 times the fraud level, which shows up the incompetence and indifference of DWP assessors entering the information. By spending millions on adverts and carefully planted 'news stories' that infer every severely disabled or dying person is a fraudster, the £6bn in errors are routinely hidden from the public. A recent major report into how disabled people are assessed concluded that the system is fraudulent, with many trick questions and disability reports being altered in favour of the DWP.
Even on an older system, if the information entered is correct then the payments will be correct, it is just number crunching. The whole system is UNFAIR and they know it!
He quotes the total number of distracted accidents, not the number that were distracted by mobile phones, which would be only a tiny minority. This is seriously misleading and to abuse such statistics shows the weakness of his case. In the UK, the figures for mobile phone distraction are well under 1% of all accidents. In some areas they are so low that they are quoted as 0%.
How many people would die if motorists were not able to call for help on their mobiles if there was a major accident or serious injury? Disabled people whose cars breakdown, they would be unable to call for help and would be left to suffer for hours by the roadside due to this anti-tech nutter?
He is just another anti-everything politician with no real experience of life. Shame on him.
You do have to ask what other hidden commercial secrets there are between the DWP and Atos. I s there an agreement that Atos won't get this or any future IT contracts unless they fail over 90% of severely disabled and dying applicants for ESA and Disability Living Allowance? Thus making the system ultimately more costly for the taxpayer by DWP/Atos ripping off vulnerable people for £billions.
A tribunal of the 'great and good' and carefully selected friends, will never give the truth to ordinary member of the public.
on the super, new ID card system that no one needs or wants.
Ideas! Firstly, force it onto the public sector who already have secure ID cards. Then the 'lower orders' will be coerced by lies and carefully placed, biased news stories, just like the ones used for Employment and Support Allowance. Then give doctors and civil servants a bonus for everyone who signs up to use an ID card, just as is used for the number of ESA disabled people failed.
Only then will we have the ability to control the unwashed, thick headed mass of peasants. They won't know what hit them and then it will be too late as we already give our favourite companies fat, 6 year contracts, while we can claw some back in party donations and treats.
The government already fails virtually everyone who applies for ESA. If we can rob severely disabled and dying patients so easily of their rightful allowances, ID cards can be imposed without any problem. Go forth and control the great unwashed who you can then track with their ID cards. Yours will be free, if you are members of the 'correct' political parties, peasants will be charged as much as we can squeeze.
'Heat or eat' for many will become 'heat or renew yearly ID card'. Sorry eating not allowed as the DWP says you are too fat anyway.
When the M6 Toll opened it needed 72,000 vehicles per month, mixed traffic, to break even. Currently it has 41,000 per month, mainly cars, and operates at a colossal loss. The only way it can continue to stay open is that the government pours money into it with 'research grants' from the MfT. This press release is just another little drip from propaganda.gov to con the peasants out of their taxes and to prop up lame ideas.
Anyone who believes that pay-per-mile works to the benefit of drivers is deluded. This is just another EU based plan to subjugate us into poverty, the idea came from the gravy train, unnecessary jobsworths of the the Germany/France alliance.
Don't be misled by the juggled figures or expect to pay less for using the roads. This government wants to privatise them and sell off what YOU own, that is their game, just look at the huge rises in the cost of train tickets to see the future of pay-per-mile.
where they can drive a stolen car to an estate, stop at mate's house for a beer, roar around at high speed, then off the estate and home. Average speed on the cameras, 5mph.
No police to worry about, the cameras will catch the real 'threats to society'. Doesn't work, does it.
Who would be the head of this independent 'government funded' committee, perhaps a 'retired professor of transport and infrastructure' who would be paid several times the PM's salary.
How many Billions would it cost to set up and guess who would be paying for it? Anyone who believes that the costs of use would also be low or stay the same, needs to look at the high tolls on the loss making M6 Toll propped up by under the table funding from the DofT.
The poor and middle classes would soon be priced off the roads to keep them clear for the politicians and 'retired professors' using their free passes on exclusive 'Zil Roads'. All motorways and major roads would be reclassified as Zil One or Zil Two. Zil Two would be quickly cleared for the junior politician's motorcades and their mates/WAGs as appropriate. Zil One would be for our senior political masters only.
Would we be screwed? You had better believe it, if you let them!
