Nine out of ten doctors have no confidence in the government’s ability to safeguard patient data online, according to a poll conducted by the British Medical Association (BMA).
Nine out of ten of the 219 doctors who responded to the Doctors Decide poll said they did not feel they were in a position to assure patients that their data would be safe. More than eight out of ten (81 per cent) said they would not want their surgery data stored on the national NHS “spine”.
