Aaggh, bangs head on desk. No end in sight then to pretty much insurmountable barriers to health and social care readily sharing information about patients in order to offer safer/more joined up care.
The one pilot project of this nature that I was involved in required the clinical team to run through a three-page consent document with every patient to get individual consent to health and social care data sharing. Heaven forbid that we could just adopt a common sense attitude here and free up clinical time for important tasks like treating and caring for patients. What a bloody farce!
