Only heard about this story courtesy of LBC radio earlier, can't see it even mentioned on the BBC or Sky websites.

Maybe its not as important to some outlets, as after all, the leftie Labour lot have decided to criticize Jeremy Hunt over it.

Health records should always be as confidential and inaccessible to those who shouldn't have them, as humanly possible.

Stories of abandoned places with patients records are shocking.

The big pharmuceutical and drug companies love all our information, so the government put as many notes and paperwork on central databases for them to read as possible.

Guess what..the more they collect the data, the more they lose the data!

Enhanced data collection is done allegedly to help us, but seems like joe public has to get shafted in order for it to happen.

Major hacking of NHS I.T systems tonight, with 40 trusts hacked by a Cyber attack.

This has stopped access to patients medical records, yet the media- spin merchants are already wheeling out the line 'that no medical records have been breached'.

Reassuring the public, or...lying to the public?

Or just wishful thinking?

Your systems are being held to ransom, yet the first thing you say to Sky News is: "no records have been breached?"

In the wake of the Facebook / Cambridge scandal, the world is now realising, that data is indeed the new oil.

Its no wonder bookmakers are also now in on it, when they demand as much personal information as possible off customers for some free bet.

If you think they ask for a lot of information now, wait until you start getting source of wealth requests from them. And to make it worse, the UKGC is trying t make bookmakers do these BEFORE allowing anyone to gamble a penny when you open a new account. So have bank statements, P60's, Payslips, copies of wills, proof of sale from houses, screenshots of wins from other bookies, etc etc ready for when you are asked for them!
