Joint Guidance on Protecting Electronic Patient Information

It looks like CfH and others are getting worried about electronic patient data security. Here’s the latest guidance on the issue from BMA and CfH.

It seems that recent articles raising significant questions about CfH and its security may have hit some hot buttons of concern amongst CfH workers.

Anyway there is now a “policy” and a “strategy” and a “code of practice” and a “monitoring group” (Information Governance Group) and a “guarantee.” Harry Cayton, Quangocrat extaordinaire, will be in charge.

So that’s all right then. No need for 93c3 after all.

There is a rumour that CfH will be abandoned just before MP’s summer recess this year. Maybe a good outcome is yet possible for a Darzi review? Or perhaps CfH could recover in the computer polyclinic?
