We have now made it possible for 60% of UK GP practices to enable their patients to have access to their full GP electronic health record online. It is secure and easy and robust. It is a breakthrough in patient involvement in their care and enables far more control over their health and their health care. It has proved very difficult to engage with NHS Connecting for Health. They have an agenda which they will not alter. We have delivered far more than they have (yet) for a fraction of the cost. We are in discussions and they are more or less supportive, in principle. Still, we could have got a lot further with a more imaginative approach from them. Anyway, we are now developing Web 2.0 facilities that will enable people to get automatic accurate personally tailored information about their conditions through their record access -very exciting!

In government circles there is a long chain of command. However well intentioned, innovative and sensible the people setting up the idea may be they are a long way from the people who implement it. “why many of the most innovative citizen-centric activities happen outside of government,” Isn’t the answer fairly obvious?
