UK Patients Will Be Given Online Access To Medical Records.

UK Patients Will Be Given Online Access To Medical Records.

The UK's Telegraph (12/1, Smith) reports, "The controversial system would allow patients to check their medical documents online and raise any inaccuracies or problems with their doctor, however concerns have been raised over the plans." Documents released along with the Chancellor's Autumn Statement said, "All patients in the NHS will have online access – where they wish it – to their personal GP records by the end of this Parliament." But "there are worries over the security of the system and that the information will be passed on or sold in so called 'technology and data markets.'"
