The measure to collect data about NHS patients has been kept very quiet. You might have heard from your GP that they have been ordered to had over your records to NHS Digital so that they can be made available to third parties for commercial gain. I have strong objections to this and have opted out. Here is some information for you:
"From 1 July 2021, and every day thereafter, the Government has Directed NHS Digital to take from your and your family’s GP records:
^data about diagnoses, symptoms, observations, test results, medications, allergies, immunisations, referrals, recalls and appointments, including information about physical, mental and sexual health” (more details)
“data on sex, ethnicity and sexual orientation”
“data about staff who have treated patients”
You can opt out if you wish.^
Here is how to opt out if you don't want your health details to be sold for profit to pharmaceutical companies or research organisations.
