You wouldn't know it from the people driving this clause:

"The system will collapse unless this is dealt with immediately"
--Dr Monica Roche, chair of the UK Association of Cancer Registries.

'The UK Association of Cancer Registries believes that the requirement for
explicit consent would, "in effect destroy the population based coverage
of cancer registries"' --Lord Clement-Jones, Hansard, 14 November 2000

Sounds pretty devastating to me!
