So there is another story about the incompetents of the state losing confidential data.
Nine NHS trusts in England have admitted losing patient records in a fresh case of wholesale data loss by government services, it has emerged.
Hundreds of thousands of adults and children are thought to be affected by the breaches, which emerged as part of a government-wide data security review.
It would beggar belief, but I have become so blase, that I expect these serial incompetents to be losing our information hand over fist. It’s what they do best; fuck up everything they touch. These are the control freaks who not only want more data to lose, they will prosecute private companies that behaved in such a cavalier fashion.
The Department of Health says patients have been told and there is no evidence data has fallen into the wrong hands.
Oh, well, that’s alright, then.
The DoH said the security breaches were being dealt with locally and it did not have details of how many patients were affected.
The bastards can’t even fuck up competently. So, Identity Cards and a massive National Identity Register is a jolly fine idea, then?
The state is not your friend.
