Is your data at risk?

You have probably heard of government plans to hold your medical records (or at least part of them) on something called the national data spine. Given their record on protecting our personal data some people are worried that personal information may be lost. It seems that this is not your only worry as your records may be accessed by people other than doctors. See here.

Given this and many other concerns many people are opting out of their records being centrally held The government will assume that you opt in unless you opt out. Further information can be found here.
