HC Deb 08 February 1967 vol 740 cc337-8W
Mr. James Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether details of replacement therapy and treatment of mental illness or venereal disease will be permanently recorded on the computerised hospital in-patient records summary sheet (S.M.R.I.(NE)) for National Health Service patients.

Mr. Ross

No.

Mr. James Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why it is necessary to obtain the maiden name of the patient's mother on the computerised hospital in-patient records summary sheet (S.M.R.I.(NE)) for National Health Service patients.

Mr. Ross

This information is being sought on a trial basis in the North-Eastern Region to determine how much it facilitates identification of other records of the same patient.
