However, some people have assumed that their details will simply be sold on to an insurance company or lawyer rather than the stated aim, which is actually more profitable (hence more logical) as it could result in earning a lot of money from the sale of treatments. The example I gave of my sister. The hospital could have made some money selling her details to an insurance company or lawyer. They could (and did) make a lot more money by developing a new treatment in conjuction with the company who provided the equipment required and may well own patents on that treatment (which would ensure ongoing profits).
