Who will be spying on your medical secrets?
A new NHS computer will carry all your most intimate medical details. Will it be safe from snoopers? Your doctor doesn't think so:
Amid the furore over waiting lists, budget cuts and filthy hospital wards, the NHS's revolutionary £12 billion technology system looked like a guaranteed patient-pleaser.
The new IT system means you will be able to choose - via a new computer system - exactly where and when you have medical treatment.
In addition, all your medical notes, X-rays and scans will be stored on a national electronic database, which means medical staff will be better informed about you.
