There is also talk of mass collecting all these records, making them anonymous, and using all the data to better inform diagnoses and treatment procedures. The NHS is uniquely positioned to do this as well. No other country, at least anywhere near our size, does their medical system this way but given the leaps we might make with large data sets we could really benefit from it.
If we go by the last NHS IT fiasco l doubt they will have another try in a hurry.
