British Government's Medical Database Raises Privacy Fears
Britons are concerned about a new Department of Health database, to be implemented later this year, that allows staff to access medical records wherever someone is treated. The BBC learned that, contrary to public assurances, a department official had stated patients would not have any right to determine what information is recorded about them by doctors, or to veto how it is recorded.
