--> One will require more in LEGAL cover than can be found on your typical
wrist band... A chip-based card or other item (even a wrist-band WITH A
CHIP) will be able to carry the scanned copies of as many documents as you
need.
But this might not be possible to read on an ambulance!
So, a better solution, is to have all this data (which is by definition
available in advance) stored on the hospital computer system and now all we
have to worry about it how to ensure that these people can be identified as
having such documentation at the hospital - all we have to have is their
name and NHS/NI/hospital number, which they should be able to carry on their
person... Maybe printed on their wrist band ;-)
