"The boss of an NHS hospital has condemned the Government’s computerised medical records Âdatabase, saying it has led to fewer patients being seen and cost his trust £10million.
Andrew Way, chief executive of the Royal Free Hospital, in north-west London, said staff were “incredibly disappointedâ€.
It is the latest row to hit the £20billion IT system which is intended to store the private health records of 50 million Âpatients on a single computer.
Civil liberty campaigners have branded it “data rape†because sensitive information – details of mental illness, abortions, pregnancy, HIV status, drug-taking and alcoholism – will be stored on the care records system.
They say it is open to abuse because the police and other Government agencies will be able to access the records, claiming it is in the “public interestâ€.DailyExpress UK (http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/84712)
Why do the idiots dems continue to believe that the failures of other countries socialist programs will be overcome by them? Is it arrogance on their part , simple stupidity or both?

I'm sure that the attempt to create a national EMR system will work almost as good as the last IRS attempt to revamp their system.
The project will be contracted out to some high priced consulting company who will then farm the project out to the lowest price bidder in India.
In the end billions of dollars will be spent followed by at least 100% in overruns and delays resulting in a system that probably will not work correctly and will be loaded with security holes.
