As I recall the story was that certain registrars of births (and
irrelevantly, deaths) had been given a stock of NHS numbers, and had
for whatever reason used only the first one on the list, for every
child registered.
How much technical assistance they required to accomplish this I am not
sure.
The BMA ARM resolved that children should be given an NHS Number within
24 hours of birth, last week.
