Amidst the mass of confusion that has been Covid and other such distractions, the UK government have managed to push through the ability to sell your heath records to anyone who has the ability to pay! Now I am not a scare monger or conspiracy theorist but think about this for a moment...
Your heath records, from birth, any notes at all to do with a visit to a GP/hospital/district nurse/health visitor, even the school nurse! It likely contains intimate details, maybe your sexual orientation, health, or if you have discussed a family history of disorders etc. Now think about who might be interested in this??? Say if you decided to emigrate, or were applying for life insurance, a mortgage, become a JW even! Naturally the enterprise is being sold along the lines of: It will be used for medical research and development of wonder cures. Call me cynical but I think it will be used for far more sinister reasons, if not initially then in the longer run.
The 'deal' was so secretive that nobody knew the cut off was 23rd June this year to 'opt out' and they have been forces to give an additional 2 months to this.
You Can still opt out now:
Click on this link https://www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters/manage-your-choice/ and follow the opt out process. This will ensure that your non-GP data (hospital records and treatments etc) is not transferred as planned by the government.
And that's it! You will have stopped this government from flogging off your personal, most intimate data to anyone who can afford to pay.
