“I naively thought that the NHS, being a national organisation, would have access to data just like a bank or building society.” #useMYdata Member David Snelson on the impact for patients of NHS's labyrinthine systems for collecting and sharing our patient data @financialtimes.com on.ft.com/3ZnPerQ

Patient data could power the NHS. Much of it is still stuck on paper
The UK wants a technological revolution in healthcare but complex information systems will make that hard to deliver
