The discussions about the cost, ISDN access etc. are all very interesting but...... Just what is so secret that it can only be accessed by a closed group? Everything that is likely to be published on the NHSnet is the sort of thing that will already (or should) probably be in the public domain anyway - either because it is expensively mirrored onto the Internet - or because it is publicly available information. If something is so controversial that it needs to be kept secret within the select club, fat chance of someone not copying the info across the press and blowing the cover. To maintain confidentiality, you would have to circulate the information in a different way. So, by way of a challenge, can anyone think of anything that would be appropriate for this limited and expensive environment, that could not (with perhaps a little care about content) be put on any publicly accessible pages? Good sensible reasons only - we all know that our local trusts don't want the "real" waiting times published - even if they could produce them. Bill Beeby, GP.
