I was shocked to find out that everyone over 65yrs has a computer calculated “electronic Frailty Indicator” added to their medical records without consent. A condition of the NHS England contract under which GPs are paid.
I urge everyone to check their records - mine was under the heading of Medical Tests and was completely inaccurate. My GP was very combative when I asked for it to be removed. It is apparently uploaded regularly and GP practices are funded for it.
I urge all over 65s to challenge this automatic profiling. I wonder what consequences it could have now or in future for things like obtaining travel/health insurance, driving licence etc.
