Google fear? BCS shrinks away from Tories The British Computing Society has moved to distance itself from the Tory Party's review of NHS IT. Last August the Conservative Party said it was reviewing the National Programme for IT with the help of Glyn Hayes from the BCS.

Medical records who needs them? It should be if you need them then you ask for them to be recorded if you don't they get destroyed, how hard is that?
And those who want to keep their records can do so themselves or pay the NHS to do so, I don't see why the rest of us need to pay for these systems or be potentially inconvenienced by them.

Hey Lee - your £92 quid only gets you through the front door but does not make you a member (MBCS) - To do that you need to spend a lot of time and money passing the ITIL Foundation, then the Service Support and Service Delivery Manager exams. When you have done this you can add circa around 10k to your salary.................. but then for your £92 you could also subscribe to twat monthly instead......... Try learning about what you talk about beforehand.... otherwise you look like a pointless, opinionated random vox pop shyster from the street if you don't!
You need to ask yourself what your potential voters will think when they see that your party is considering the proposal of handing those voters' personal data to companies that may store that data outside this nation's physical and virtual boundaries and to which your party has questionable associations.
Your party's proposal seems not to take data security seriously enough to make my support more forthcoming. I do not feel comforted by the idea of Google or Microsoft having my personal data and responsibility for the security of it.

Hey, but nelson Mandela was convicted, and he was better than any other chap in S.A at the time! Just because they are convicted doesn't mean they are bad. They just slipped up once in a while... (did I really say that in regards to MS?!?)
It's called Rehabilitation of the Convicted
