Hi,

As a concerned citizen I thought many of you might be interested to learn that the Government is preparing for the "biggest data grab" in the history of the NHS, giving patients little information or warning about the planned transfer of medical records from GP surgeries in England to a central store for research purposes – and with no prospect of the data being deleted.

For me this is shocking behaviour yet apparently there is a way to opt out - but you must hand a physical form to your GP by 23 Jun 2021 - 1 month away. The Govt are making it difficult by insisting on a physical form even though we live in a digital age.  More skulduggery. My doctor's surgery knew nothing about this plan or the fact that they were expected to process patient's dissent forms! Madness.

See the links below for me details in general about what is happening and what you can do.

I have written to the MP for Haringey to complain and I recommend that you do the same.

It has not gone unnoticed that the mainstream media has not picked up on this story!

Best of luck
