Apparently no one can access this records system without your permission....and when they access your records it will be recorded
1)who has accessed the file,
2) the time and date that the file was accessed,
3) the name/PIN number of the person who accessed the file,
4) whether any changes were made to the file,
5) what those changes were.

I am suspicious of computer held records and I am not sure whether to opt out or not.

As far as adding your name to a computer record without your consent, I think the information has been produced so that those who do want to opt can do so.
and there is information that if you later change your mind about opting out then you can be added to the computer database......it will be much harder to take yourself off this record if you want to do that in the future.....especially if you have had treatment anywhere and this has beeen added to the computer record.
