we raised the patient data flag on this approach (sending an email in plain text containing medical info ration) as such we are to propose a number of solutions for the NHS to discuss and decide. IMO they are:
we will have to ask for more feedback concerning the system(s) used by the team accepting and responding to questions before going any further but if three's another approach we should consider please do comment.
if we could remove the link to avoid any issue as the team is closing down today.
I've removed the link as requested. With regards to the options for alternatives, there are problems with regards to data privacy:
Assuming that we still can't get onto N3. The only option I can think of might be to encrypt the emails when we send them using PGP. Although this will require the recipient to give us their PGP key and be able to use it. I'm not sure if this will be considered sufficient security or not, it feels like someone from the NHS IT team need to think about this situation and tell us what is acceptable/required.
I have checked with NHS England IG and we can not go with initial email suggestion we made.
I think the template is quite straight forward, but if any problems/questions let me know.
