Medical records of London patients will go online this week in a scheme to improve access by doctors.
The summary care records, which contain details of patients' allergies, medications and other key information, will go live on Thursday as part of the Government's £12 billion IT upgrade of the NHS.
It is hoped the uploading of some 50 million records means information will be more easily shared between hospitals and surgeries. But critics have raised fears about data safety issues linked to uploading potentially sensitive details.

A totally bankrupt Third World banana republic police state once known as the UK and now called EUSSR can borrow £12 BILLION of taxpayer's money to fund this wholly discredited, useless and stupid nonsense.
