Hmmm, One thought keeps popping into my mind. & I don't do conspiracies either.
Also gearing up to prospectively cater for an American model health care system?
Nah, shurely not.
Not a conspiracy theorist but do believe MY private data IS my PRIVATE data.
Now that's out of the way
i imagined what this could lead to..
I see it might help research, but wouldn't that data still be available,?
so it's for profit, for some companies, (cant see this being FREE to those who ask for it.)
So WHY would they PAY & want it...mmhh.
Top of my list is insurers.
While for me that relates to travel, driving, pretty sure there will be others.
so, for travel i declare two issues.
T2D and asthma...No issue with that.
help if i needed it could cost more, so i pay more, seems right.
however, some may simply aggregate ALL my health data and deem me an ever higher risk.
Thinking on that now... i don't believe or agree, anyone on here is the A Typical Type 2 diabetic that doctors and stats seem to refer to constantly.
yet we all are lumped in with the same who won't or can't action to amend their lifestyle, and follow the progressive line we all hear about.
Now those paying won't be wanting less cash for there products, will they..?
so higher prices for some, would seem a good possibility.
what else might that mean ?
NOW or at any point, some new links, MAY however tenuously linked to your date, could either see your premiums rise..(likely)
or might even mean you can no longer get cover, despite the fact without such data you could and most likely pay far less..
and be just as safe.
so travel. More expensive., IF you can get such cover
and driving more expensive, IF you can even get cover.
bottom line ?.
once IN you can NOT opt out.
Opt out you CAN opt in.
anyone who thinks companies are paying for such data is so they can charge us all less....
Try this:I think they've extended the opt out time for another 2 months.
I can't find the form. Is it a National one?
I hope so! My wife first became alerted via Twitter, and not from any Government posting either.I've opted out online and have the form waiting to be delivered when I go for my next blood test next week.. I guess the more people who opt out the better?
Apart from that.. like so many other areas of our "new life" we seem fairly powerless.
Thank you.that was a much simpler process than any I had tried following from news stories etc. I was beginning to think they were making it difficult on purpose
Well, one form to fill in online and one you have to fill in paperwork wise that they haven’t exactly advertised and originally needed to be in in a matter of weeksThank you.that was a much simpler process than any I had tried following from news stories etc. I was beginning to think they were making it difficult on purpose
So where do I get the paper form from?Well, one form to fill in online and one you have to fill in paperwork wise that they haven’t exactly advertised and originally needed to be in in a matter of weeks
So… might not use the word difficult but certainly doing something on purpose
So where do I get the paper form from?
The online opt out is on this ageGuys, I am confused. I have read this and the other thread a few times, but my brain just won't retain the info.
I have printed out the form. So do I have to do this online too, and where? Sorry to be dense, post covid brain strikes again.
Yet?In Wales this is not happening. I believe it is only in England.

Some GP practices allow you to make a Type 1 opt-out declaration online rather than having to fill in a paper form. It's worth people looking on the ir GP practice's website to see if this available.https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-inf...for-planning-and-research/transparency-notice
Go to that page then click here where it says returning this form.
