The Care Data Scheme

Guardian item http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/feb/18/nhs-delays-sharing-medical-records-care-data



It says that there will not be any information to identify you but if you give your NHS number and Post Code and gender, really, there is every chance you could be identified.


Read the information, and inform yourselves. My surgery's secretary said that we have all received forms and information about this, but I certainly haven't, and other said the sheets of paper they got through their doors were enclosed with pizza leaflets, so were automatically chucked out by a lot of people probably.


But you can opt out.

Information here.

and you can get opt out forms from your surgery or any other surgery probably to sign and hand in to your own.

    • Anyone know what the V7 local is turning into? Saw some guys painting it a teal colour last night which made me think it’s probably turning into another Truepennys haha - hopefully something more interesting
    • I agree with Sue here, but it is reasonable to raise a concern - there have been incidents of mass poisoning (from restaurants and cafes, supermarkets and food sellers such as butchers and fishmongers) where early warning (or a lack of it) has had a significant impact. But where this concern has been reasonably raised, but then discovered to be likely misplaced, it is a good thing to obfuscate the retailer identity. Of course, by removing the specificity, this might get later readers to worry that other ice-cream outlets locally were being implicated! Bit of a lose-lose situation really!
    • Yes, even  just the thread title will stick in people's minds, with the specific cafe mentioned. And they will see it every time they look at the list of threads in this section of the forum. It might be a good idea to change it to remove the cafe name and say something like "a local cafe"?
    • Our son really doesn't interact with others much and very rarely gets out, but when he does, an ice cream at the cafe is a favourite treat (even when it's freezing outside). Like yours, it's a single-person data point - in our case, no illness. Bugs can come from anything/anyone - other people are far more likely to be the unwitting carriers, in my view. Having gone there for years and years, never had a concern re the ice cream. And generally do worry about linking an establishment with illness/standards, even as a question as, even subconsciously, the association may stick in people's minds (and if they stop the ice cream, we'll be devastated!).
