RoadID - do you use one?

[Col5632]

Seems it is according to the NHS Leaflet, you get one if you register with a doc in England or Wales

Thats what made me think it was

Apparently it is also known as the CHI number in Scotland. Mine used to be my birth certificate number which was the district I was registered in, the year I was registered (not born) and then the xth many child in that year. That was until NHS England decided they didn't want me on a Scottish CHI number anymore and changed it to the standard English system.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHS_Scotland

I do have the NHS number at home.
But thought get on the blower to my Doc's and get it to have at work.
Gave it to me after confirming my details.

Some people will still have the old NHS number which has letters and numbers.
The new one just has numbers. 10 of 'em.

My doctor even phoned me up a fews months back to see if I was getting on ok, as he had not seen me at the surgery for years
