dinglebert - there is a plan to sell of GP records to private firms.. this isn't about data sharing between primary and secondary care

Scaremongering nonsense - if any data is provided to organisations outside the NHS it will not be capable of identifying individuals.

I am sure we all want safeguards but personally I don't care if they use my data and if using it helps with research so much the better.

I do believe it's a good thing. However, I'm concerned about the Police and other government agencies having a backdoor to my medical data. According to this article the police won't need to go to court anymore to access the data. http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/feb/06/police-backdoor-access-nhs-health-records

There have been many improvements in treating some medical conditions brought about by this type of medical data sharing. Diabetes is one example.
