I got one, my father got one, my grandmother got one and all my neighbours seem to have got one. Therefore I think it's a fair bet that everyone the Borough of Croydon got one. The letter informs us that in the next 12-18 months we will all be added to the NHS's Healthspace care summary record program. Basically this is the government's interesting plan to put everyone in the UK's medical records up on the internet.
Obviously it should come as no surprise that I will be opting out of this scheme. I will be doing this by downloading the opt-out form from;
http://www.connectingforhealth.nhs.uk/systemsandservices/scr/documents/optout.pdf
filling it out and returning it to my GP by July 13th 2010.
If for any reason it turns out that I don't have a GP I would be writing to the Local Health Authority at; Croydon Health Authority, Knollys House, 17 Addiscombe Road, Croydon, Surrey, CR0 6SR including my name, address, date of birth and NHS number if I have it and ask them to appoint me a GP.
I only bring this up because the letter sort of forgot to include those details.
