The one problem I have with browser-type medical records is a simple one
of control of access to data. Right now GPs are the only people with that
access. Once the browser type record exists, that has gone. I do not trust
the DoH that far, as they have been trying for some time to break the
dependency of individual patients on individual GPs - i.e. trying to
encourage a total free flow situation in which the lowest bidder can
provide primary care services.
