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.

Will the information on these computers though not be obtained from your doctor's computers ? Would think these are more vulnerable to loss or hacking ? So we are already vulnerable, are we not ?
Not sure, but think their receptionists have access to these at your surgery ... know if I have lost my repeat prescription for my HRT and can never remember the name, they have looked in their computer on the counter to let me know what it is. Might not be fully correct .. just a queston.
