| Quote: | Connecting for Health has dropped the requirement for patients to appear in person if they wish to opt out of having a Summary Care record (SCR).
The Department of Health’s IT agency has faced criticism in recent weeks after it emerged that some patients were being asked to attend their GP practice person if they wanted to opt-out of having a summary record.
Now NHS CfH has issued new guidance to PCTs making it clear that it is possible to opt-out by post. CfH said the original guidance, issued in 2007, was based on the need to ensure that patients understood the implications of opting out. |
