[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2407211, member: 140811"] Haven't seen this anywhere else so thought it was worth posting here. Today's Guardian is carrying an article about a massive NHS data grab and our wonderful government have failed to rule out commercial use of said data. "The proposals suggest mass collection of every English patient’s history, including mental health episodes, their smoking and drinking habits, and diagnoses of diseases such as cancer. But it will also include [URL='https://medconfidential.org/for-patients/gp-2021-sensitive-codes/']dated[/URL] instances of domestic violence, abortions, sexual histories and criminal offences. Given the proposed scope of such a database, it is reasonable to ask who will be given this data, and for what purpose." [URL]https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/may/30/the-guardian-view-on-medical-records-nhs-data-grab-needs-explaining[/URL] We have until June 23rd to [URL='https://medconfidential.org/how-to-opt-out/']opt out[/URL].
