Is this not equivalent to a DNR? .... JoSixChip

Not really ~ an accident happens ~ someone is hurt ~ this particular order will cause a serious delay in assisting the injured because the bureaucrats want the first responders to call up and check the list first. .... muawiyah

Such systems have been around for years, right here in the U.S., and that's not the way it works.

After registering, if you do not want resuscitation, you MUST be wearing a DNR Bracelet to let the first responders know IMMEDIATELY what your wishes are.

You did not get a DNR Bracelet?

You get resuscitated.

You left you DNR Bracelet next to your toothbrush in the bathroom?

You get resuscitated.

Your DNR Bracelet got ripped off during the accident?

Sorry. Sh#t happens. You get resuscitated.

My coment was about the ambitions of the folks running the NHS in UK, not how our DNR system might work.
