This is my point. E-mail that auto-generated TIFF (letter plus signature-image) to the specialist, which they store on their system (just as they would *if* they scanned it). But in reality the paper referral never actually existed.

Trouble is, most of us just > cannot be bothered getting an individual digital certificate. It's not a question of bother. In my case it's a question of *not* *being* *allowed* to have one. I am otherwise entitled to make Medicare-valid referrals, and have a non-billing number (in fact several) for this purpose. The contract for HeSA indivudal certificates is also quite onerous, exposing the doc to a lot of medico-legal risk, and to cap it all off the dongle requires a, er, dominant, operating system.
