Individual certificates are seriously bad. They are totally unworkable in a

Keep printing until the policy is changed seems the only real option here.
perhaps the best bet is to
1) give the patient the letter (printed)
2) request a reply via e-mail on the letter, including your public key -
so the specialist can stack their database over time
3) send the initial referral electronically as a reply to the
specialist's letter (?automagically) if they send you their key
i didn't note any official requirement for the reply to use hesa keys,
and the secure "reply" referral would save the specialist scanning and
filing; they could collect the initial paper referrals in a large
chronological file and park them securely offsite for audit
requirements, thus making access for them easy, and follow up for m*c*
painfully ridiculous
this may be the best way of ignoring a stupid requirement
