It is plausible but unprovable that the whole WalportThomas exercise was designed to produce this result, since MoJ has been charged with "removing the barriers to data-sharing" since its predecessor the DCA was asked by the Cabinet Office to identify them back in 2006. Walport was there as a proponent of Big Pharma getting its hands on your NHS medical records.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-56647682965501004272008-11-25T18:18:00.000+00:002008-11-25T18:18:00.000+00:00"were they always like this?" ______ Yes, since 19..."were they always like this?" ______ Yes, since 1945 anyway.Don Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232752398252841794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-28555163479393326002008-11-25T16:09:00.000+00:002008-11-25T16:09:00.000+00:00Thats not the way it reads to me.
