Care.data ..another ATOS venture for the NHS

Wed, 22 Jan 2014 05:48:14 +0000

care.data - what is going to happen ?

GP practices nationwide will soon be required to supply patients' personal and confidential medical information, on a regular and continuous basis, to the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC).

Under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, GP practices have no choice but to allow the HSCIC to extract this information.

This project, called care.data, is administered by the HSCIC using software and services provided by a private sector company (ATOS).

When will this take place ?

The HSCIC states that care.data extractions will start from GP surgeries in March 2014.

Thursday 31 October 2013

Pickets had been out across Nottingham and Trent Universities from 7.00am onwards.

Central Fire Station, Nottingham

Wednesday 25th September 2013

Between 12 and 4pm on Wednesday, the Fire Brigade Union called for a strike by its members to highlight it's issues over pensions and that staff are expected to work until they are 60, doing such a physically demanding job.

“All the evidence demonstrates the physically arduous and dangerous nature of the work firefighters undertake. Forcing these dedicated professionals to work beyond their physical capacity not only puts their health at risk it also increases the risk to safety of the general public. I am urging the Government to see sense and get back to the negotiating table for constructive discussion to resolve this dispute.”
