Kaye asks: do you want your medical records online?

Under new targets, patients should have online access to health records by 2020. Kaye asks: do you want your medical records online?

TOPIC 1: INDEPENDENCE
Generator and heating supplier Aggreko, which employs around a tenth of its 5,749 worldwide employees in Scotland, said in its annual report that independence is likely to create "additional administration cost and complexity". The warning from the FTSE 100 firm is not unexpected after its chief executive, Rupert Soames predicted the annual report season would see a raft of businesses citing independence as a risk.

Since then, Lloyds Banking Group, Barclays, Standard Life, Royal Bank of Scotland, the Macfarlane Group and Breedon Aggregates have all listed independence in their risk management sections. But Aggreko also said it would find ways to manage the challenges of independence, pointing out that the UK accounts for less than 10% of its business and therefore it has "plenty of options".

Kaye asks: Does business opinion have any influence on your vote in the referendum?

TOPIC 2: MEDICAL RECORDS
Under new targets, patients are to be given online access to their own health records by 2020, as part of the Scottish Government's 2020 Vision for Health and Social Care.

Kaye asks; do you want your medical records online?
