Nope ~ but since I live in Wales I wouldn't expect to.

The NHS is changing the way that patient information is stored and shared in England.

Summary Care Records will provide healthcare staff with faster access to their patients' key health information.

Yes but they were all written records and they now reside in Wales.

In my naive days I would have said that this made sense. If I took sick in INverness or somwhere it would be a good thing for a doctor there to have me medical records to hand.

No longer. I am on Government databases (tax, census, NI number), because of my driving conviction ( redface:) they have my DNA, fingerprints and mugshot. My passport has a microchip in it. My car number plate can identify me by ANPR, including location, speed and direction of travel. The Boy, along with all children in the country (EXCEPT those of politicians), is on ContactPoint. Disks andcomputers are lost. Hundreds of thousand of twits have access to all these databases. My purchase of ?50 worth of Euros is checked against my address and passport. My mortgage application requires three proofs of address (for money luandering purposes) and I am watched on CCTV all fooking day  cussing:

I aim to opt out, but don't trust the bastards to do it even once I have filled the form in   Banghead

Oh and my ballot paper has a number on it and my Tesco card records my purchasing patterns and my emails and calls are monitored for subversive words/messages like, for example, "I have a jolly good plan to assassinate Gordon Brown. Let us all join a conspiracy" and council officials can enter my home without notice.

I am of the opinion that the only way to drop out of all this nonsense is to leave the country, change your name, buy a "dodgy" passport and live where the natives don't give a f*ck who or what you are. Sadly my plan falls apart at the final hurdle of where that somewhere is.

So I put up with it all but withhold my cooperation from the system. They may think they know all but I fight back in small ways that give me pleasure. For example I use a PAYG mobile, purchased for cash and I won't give my real name and address to Carphone Warehouse. Likewise when I buy electrical goods from Currys or Comet I pay cash, giving a false name and address. If nothing else it avoids them continually pestering me to buy their bloody overpriced extended warranties.

I never, ever, respond to questionnaires, I will not reply to surveys, I use two different telephone service/line providers and withhold my number at all times ~ Yes I know how the systems still identify me but I make them work for it.

Prolly stupid but it is my little rebellion.

No one will ever know who I am or from where I came from when I end up in 'me 'ut' in the woods, living like a tramp with a one eyed three legged snarling dog. cloud9:
I shall deny all knowledge of my existance even, and tell 'em it's all just a dream, and to piss off, leave me alone and mind their own business. evil:
