Thanks everyone. Seems to be a total mystery!

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone's had any problems before with local doctors practices sharing their data with nuisance callers? I registered yesterday at The Gardens Practice and put my boyfriend down as the emergency contact. This is the only instance I can think of where I've put his contact details down in relation to my details anywhere (we don't live together). It was only yesterday evening that I filled in the forms, and he's been receiving cold calls today from 'accident claims helplines' saying they have records of me being in an accident and having put him down as a contact, and did he want to make a claim? He's never received any call before like this. I'm really shocked at the thought of the NHS selling data on to nuisance callers like this, and also a bit taken aback at how irresponsible these callers are - if I'd put my family down as an emergency contact (they live miles away so I didn't), and they'd had a call saying I'd been in an accident, it could have seriously panicked them! Has anyone else had this problem or similar?
