You cant cut corners in testing its too dangerous it takes years to test in labs on animals before human tests. The human trials takes long time too any shortcutting would be very dangerous
what corners are going to be cut ?

Quote:
There is tests which get refused too risky or for reason like not been tested enough would they get go aheads without the protection. Lets not forget those students who died trialing a drug. Drop those safeguards we could be in unknown world.
bloody hell, talk about going off at a tangent that has absolutely no connection to thread whatsoever

For the system to work they need the correct data but they need the patients too for there trials. If its anomynous how would they contact the GP/specialist to ask for that person in human trials.
you have totally failed to grasp what is being proposed .All that is being proposed is that life science companies can access test results and results of treatment when a particular drug has been used they don't need to know the person they don't need to even see them

Another why need that postcode why do they need them if its demagraphics then simply Mr Smith from nottingham should be enough.
NO ,NO ,NO ,It wont be Mr smith from Nottingham they don't need that information it will be patient A from NG (NG being the post code for Nottingham) and postcodes are a way of showing demographics

Postcodes could be way to find you for sure in some places it might not in others it would lead you right to your doorstep.
In very rare circumstances ,i.e the house of commons or a farm in the middle of nowhere where there are only 2-3 buildings within that postcode .Anyway all the postcode info and who lives there is already available and commonly sold by your local authority to marketing companies ,that's how you get junk mail and marketing calls now
