Bupa approved to access medical records as campaigners question patient consent for release
This is outrageous. At no time as far as I can remember, has any health
minister, or anyone in government or in the ConDem coalition suggested
or even hinted that medical records could be sold off to private firms
without any reference to, and without the knowledge of the patients
concerned.

The way in which this government has recklessly pursued the
privatisation of the NHS is in itself an act of theft and barbarism and
now to compound this ravaging, they propose to sell patient records from
any remaining parts of the public system. Their "friends" in business
have fared well from the governments idolisation of the private sector,
and they now can purchase intimate details of people and their medical
histories for as little as £140.00. There is no end to this governments
vile actions and their obscene commitment to sacrifice all publicly
owned assets and associated information on the alter of privatisation.
