Summary Care Records

Meet the new boss

The Government is keeping the Summary Care Record programme despite concerns about its accuracy and usefulness to hospital doctors. 

The decision to the keep the SCR is a testimony to the influence of civil servants at NHS Connecting for Health and the Department of Health who have strongly advocated the continuance of the programme, although they have never addressed points made in an independent UCL report on the programme earlier this year which questioned the accuracy of medications and allergies data held on the SCR.

Same as the old one…

  1. Is anyone keeping track. They are coming thick and fast now.

    I’ll open a thread and create a page if no one else is doing it.

    Would need what, when and links to sources.
