Microsoft to keep our NHS records?

I suspect the moment it happens, we'll start getting bombarded by the ads tailored to our individual medical problems. Worse still, when I visit a doctor, he/she will access my medical records by googling/binging them.

IMHO, that's among the stupidest ideas ever, handing private medical records over to a couple of companies whose data-mining prowess is second to none, not to mention, we all know how secure MS software is..

I think it's begging for a privacy disaster. If it were in my country, I'd hope it falls through.
