Something else you should be aware of is that last year everybody on a doctors patient list was sent a letter to ask if they could put your information onto the national data base, (or whatever it is called). If you did not reply to this letter in a timely fashion, questions would be asked at the doctor's surgey where you are a patient. I know, because it happened to me. I just asked the doctor if he would like to pop down to my house for a cup of tea, to prove I was still resident in the UK.

You've got this one wrong sir.......you are treated by your local NHS district ( board ). They work on very tight and limited budgets, they are entitled to know that you are their financial responsibility, and not the next districts.
Each NHS board has the flexibility to spend it's funds according to the needs of the LOCAL POPULATION !! For example, there may be a need for more cardiac units in Glasgow, but a need for more geriatric care in Bournemouth. The local board decides what capital projects are necessary, and where the funding should go. Your an example of the kind of person that the NHS comes across every day, "Fast with an opinion, Slow with the Facts".
So in future just respond to the letter requiring up to date info on you, and don't get smart mouthed with over-worked doctors.
What on earth are you on about?
If you had read my posting properly, you would know that the letter I am refering to asked if I would allow my medical records to be put on a national register, when there were grave reservations about its confidentiality. It did not want any up to date information on me, and had no impact on funding, as it was irrelevant where I lived in England.
My GP told me that he also refused to have his details stored on such a system.
Maybe you should read the lines written, and not imagine what might be in the space between them.

On the contrary, you should make your postings clearer. You didn't mention anything about " grave reservations" or any other issue of that ilk. You're the one that is guilty of writing one thing and thinking another. Try re-reading your posts before submitting.
My two points stand as stated, to address your nonsense point about " grave reservations " let's look at the only salient question. Why would the NHS want a central register of medical records? Could it be because every single day in life they are treating people blind to their medical history, as the patient has been rushed in to hospital for emergency treatment?
Personally speaking I would much rather the Doctor in charge of my treatment had full access to my current medical record than worry about some cyber terrorist discovering I had a in-grown toe nail in 1963.
Grow up man.
I really should have looked at your user name before replying to your inane posting.
By the way, surely it should be The Bletherer, as "blether" is a verb. If you have received such a limited education, you should concentrate on the more simple postings, otherwise, like here, you will find yourself out of your depth.
