On what basis do you think you are going to have the legal right to do so?

Probably worried about his paranoia becoming public knowledge!

Just because he's be paranoid doesn't mean someone's not out to get
him.

Thallium Sulphate is in the news at the moment as the poison of choice.

Oh well, judging by the comments so far from this newsgroup I might as well
un suscribe. Goodbye.

Gosh, what a lot of helpful replies, so unlike uk.legal where the OP
would have the s*** ripped out of him for a post like that.

I find it interesting that NHS doctors share the OPs concerns (as do I)
as reported here yesterday http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6167924.stm

I can also envisage a whole host of ways in which the database could be
misused, for instance imagine the following mailshot through your door
....

Dear Mrs Bloggs,
We understand that you are clinically obese – well don’t worry our new
wonder drug at only £300 a month can make you look like a real person
again.

Or
Dear Mrs Bloggs,
We understand your husband isn’t satisfying you bedwise any more, our
new super Viagra will put some lead in his pencil ...

The old private dick looking for evidence of adultery, slips his contact
a few quid and lo and behold it turns out that in 2004 Mr Smith visited
the clap clinic.

The vengeful parent looking to tip the odds in a custody battle finds
out that partner suffered from clinical depression 8 years ago.

So good on the doctors for highlighting their concerns and meanwhile
perhaps someone who’s in the know could take a stab at answering the
question?

I wouldn't worry, I work on the NHS spine project and it's pretty tight!
I know mistakes will happen but no more than ur card folder's contents
being stolen, copied or laughed at....

it could save ur life, the benefits outweigh etc...

The only way of realistically avoiding that or similar is to emigrate
to a country without an NHS.

You have absolutely no rights whatsoever to prevent your details being
loaded on that computer, so long as you are a resident of the UK.
