I think that you have a valid point. Many people may lose confidence in their Practice...and a delay in treatment could prove fatal.
There are a number of GP's who have pointed this out...some of them are unhappy with the situation and the scheme should have been due to be rolled out, but these concerns have meant that once again the roll out has been deferred...and the government are now saying that third parties will not have access to the information.

You only have to look at the DVLA as an example of what could happen
