[Margaret Pilkington]

It isn't just what pills you are on.....or what operation you have had.
The record will carry your name, address, date of birth, National health number etc.......these are details that could quite easily be 'lost' or hacked and then you could find yourself paying for stuff that you have never bought because someone has set up accounts in your name, and obtained goods fraudulently.(with accurate and up to date information off the NHS database)

I do not trust security of huge organisations......and as Lettie says the NHS will purchase the cheapest, nastiest product on the market because that is what they do.
