what about the secondary use of all these records
When this was explained to me a few years back that this was going ahead, I immediately requested my details to be opted out.
My biggest scare was that I had inside access and "tested" a system to see how well the security was implemented.
I was able to do a search for people with same forename and surname across the country, and get all their d.o.b, address and nhs number and then do a print screen.
None of this was recorded or audited, and when I took this information to someone in authority i was informed the auditing starts once a name has been selected.
This is just plain wrong, and makes it easy for anyone to obtain the address details of anyone in the country.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
