Confidentiality is at the heart of a patient's trust relationship with their GP but the UK government is trying to sell our medical records to anyone that wants them.
Companies
will be able to buy information on all of us from the NHS’s new patient
database — including everything from mental health conditions, sexually
transmitted infections and diseases like cancer linked to your
postcode, gender and ethnicity.
We’ve all been opted in to the
scheme by the government without our knowledge. The government has said
they will upload the data in a matter of just a few weeks. If we’re
going to stop this, we have to act now.
Tell Jeremy Hunt and the Department of Health not to sell our medical records.
