An addendum to my blog on care.data, the scheme to link up GP and hospital patient records. The leaflets are supposed to have dropped on to our household mats by now, although mine must have mistakenly ended up in the recycling bin with the gutter-cleaning, pizza-delivering, house-selling offers because I havent seen it.
However, the Royal College of GPs has now thrown a minor spanner in the works by saying that they are worried that the public has not been properly informed about the benefits of, and the safeguards surrounding, the programme.
It does feel a bit late in the day, especially as they say themselves that there is now only seven weeks to go before the national roll out. But they have obviously taken note that some of their own members are worried about the position they find themselves in, having to explain to their patients why it is such a good thing to their patients, without being clear about the safeguards.
The RCGP Honorary Secretary Professor Nigel Mathers said in a statement:
The college remains supportive of the care.data initiative in principle, as we believe it will help the NHS improve the quality of care for patients and to better prepare for outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as flu, through for example, the use of shared, suitably anonymised, data to build up a picture of which treatments work best.
However, we urgently need reassurance about what plans are being made to address current GP and public concerns to restore public confidence in the scheme.
The government and NHS England need to act immediately, otherwise further questions will inevitably be asked about the wisdom of rushing the scheme through before the current gaps in information and awareness have been addressed.
It would be a tragedy if something that could have enormous benefits for patient care falls at the first hurdle because of a failure of communication.
There have been repeated reassurances from the government that the system is safe and they adamantly deny claims that insurance companies will be able to access the data.

Week after week for perhaps a year or longer a mystery person drove through a west Petaluma neighborhood, tossing multiple bags of household garbage out onto the streets, said Petaluma police.
It became a major topic of conversation and irritation for many Wickersham Park neighborhood residents who dealt with the leavings. Many of them had kept watch, hoping to spot the culprit and some even picked through the spilled rubbish, unsuccessfully looking for a clue to an identity.
Every week we would find it in various spots in the neighborhood. At least two bags of garbage. Nothing you could trace back to anybody, said neighbor Merielle Morshead. Sometimes a car would hit it and there'd be garbage all over the place. The whole neighborhood has been trying to find out who it is.
Area resident Paula Deuweke called the trash dumping beyond obnoxious.
It was always tossed on the sidewalk or the gutter in front of somebody's house, said Dueweke.
It's not the crime of the century but it really does negatively impact morale in a neighborhood when you have to deal with this kind of nonsense, said Dueweke.
After fielding complaints from residents for months about the yellow bags of garbage showing up in the streets, near the park and even in some people's landscaping, police recently conducted a few stakeouts.
As the bags typically appeared between 5-7 a.m. officers one day last week showed up early. They think they narrowly missed the dumper last week and Wednesday morning they say they got him.
At 6:45 a.m. officers arrested a neighborhood resident after seeing him toss a yellow bag from his car's passenger window onto G Street, said Petaluma Sgt. Ken Savano.

RoboCop may be blasting his way into theaters this week, but in reality, a cyborg like him is probably still 100 years away from patrolling our streets.

But dont tell that to this team of undergrads from FloridaInternational Universitys Discovery Lab. Theyre already hard at work on a real-life RoboCop.Granted, its nowhere near as advanced as the tech depicted in the movie, but their Telebot is nothing to ignore.
The six-foot tall, 75-pound prototype combines telepresence and robotics to eventually allow disabled police officers and military personal to serve as patrol officers. Built from scratch, Telebot functions via an Oculus Rift headset, a motion-tracking vest, arm bands and gloves all worn by a remote person. The headset gives that person a live-feed of the robots field of vision while the vest relays movements to the robot. The motion-sensing gloves control robots hands.
The Telebot was made possible by Jeremy Robins, alieutenant in the U.S. Navy, who donated $20,000 towards the project to help his disabled veteran friends get back into the work force.

Our next step is to fabricate the external shell of the robot and to tune up the softwareand finally, field test it, said Nagarajan Prabakar, an associate professor in the FIU School of Computing and Information Sciences.

Diners in Pismo Beach restaurants, such as Rosas, must now request a glass of water due to drought conditions. Rosas has been serving Pismo Beach for 25 years. //Elisa Ramirez/Staff
Diners in Pismo Beach will have to request a glass of water from their server the next time they go out to eat in the city.
On Tuesday, the City Council unanimously adopted moderately restricted water supply conditions for Pismo in light of the states current drought.
Although the city has an ample supply of water to meet current demand, council members believed it would be prudent to implement restrictions to help combat dry conditions statewide.
If this (drought) continues, it could be really severe in the future, Councilman Ed Waage said. Pray for rain.
When Gov. Jerry Brown declared the drought emergency in mid-January, he asked citizens across the parched state to voluntarily reduce water usage by at least 20 percent and for municipalities to implement local water shortage contingency plans.
We do need to be mindful of the overall situation and conserve for the future, City Engineer Ben Fine told the council.
Under the citys municipal code, the council can declare one of four water supply conditions, including the recently adopted declaration, which falls one step below normal. Severely restricted and critical are the remaining two conditions that can be adopted under the code.
Each condition has various water-use restrictions associated with it, and under a moderately restricted supply, restaurants can only serve drinking water if a customer requests a glass.

At North Harbor Dairy Farm in Sackets Harbor, it's clear Mother Nature has left her mark this winter with all the snow and ice.
"It's really put us behind for spring's work. We're probably three to four weeks behind because we've had to put so much more labor into moving snow," said Brian Robbins, the farm's general manager.
"It's a full-time job for at least one, most of the time two guys, just to keep everything plowed out and to keep us moving here on the farm," said Ryan Nortz, a farm employee.
Even the cows are feeling this winter's grip.
"There are issues with pneumonia and of keeping the barns closed up all night and not properly ventilated," said Robbins.
Another problem is the ice.
Even though the cows are inside, it can still get below freezing, which causes ice to form on the ground.
While it's not uncommon for the cows to slip, sometimes they'll fall and can't get back up.
A few cows have even died.
"When you're a big, heavy cow and you go down, it's hard to get back up. And they're an animal. Their instinct is to get back up and sometimes they hurt themselves even more," said Robbins.
