I thought that the HSCB would mean that the government intends
ultimately to centralise the records more or less come what may.

Since it seems very unlikely that these cards will in fact hold a full
medical record, ultimately they can be no more than an authentication
device to unlock use of the central record....

In short, a back-door ID card.
