Ian has asked the BIG question. 
 
Why would patients who wished to keep their clinical details confidential want 
a GP to post THEIR medical details anywhere in cyberspace?

Using an agreed template a "Pitifil on steroids" could extract the data
and lob it to the central server.
The million-dollar question is: who gets access to the server, and
how?

would you give a PIN number to the patient, to give to the specialist/admitting
registrar?
or would you let the appropriate people (say ED charge nurse) have a password
allowing access to all summaries from GPs in the area? With an automatic 
mailback
to the GP whenever a file is accessed by a hospital person as a security 
measure.
