Natsku you are the fool for trusting govt.
Yes you can do all those things with your security no. But as an example would you like hmrc get access to your GP records?
Below is some information about what SNP want to store on the card... Its not just a simple case of using it to identify your address so you don't have to produce a copy of your bank statement - I'm astounded at your naivety and your lack of concern about privacy if all you worry about is carrying a bit of paper to prove where you live. I wonder how banks, insurance companies, medical companies etc. Would act if they got their hands on all this information about you and your family. How much is that data worth? No govt ever will have as much information about the population as the SNP will do about population of Scotland.
The Data Sharing and Linking Service (DSLS) is on track to begin operating by December – despite the vast majority of the public being unaware of the plans.
At the heart of the enterprise is the Linking Population Spine, which will hold “the name, date of birth, gender and postcode for everyone in Scotland”.
According to NHS Research Scotland, this will boast “cradle to grave” health records, including maternity, mental health, cancer, GP and dental notes.
The new education, childhood and parenting profiles highlighted will also be stored.
Following our original exposé, the Engage for Education quango stated categorically: “There is no national central database – this is a myth.”
However, the DSLS – which is clearly NOT a myth – will also include social care, housing and justice statistics, as well as information from the 2011 Scottish Census.
The Census had questions on areas such as financial and salary details, religious and sexual orientation, relationships and family life.
According to minutes of meetings of the “Data Linkages Operations Group”, the hoard will even include details of “vulnerable children” and “genomics” – or DNA records.
