NHS explains how it uses data to patients

Don’t think you have heard the last of the General Data Protection Regulation. NHS England has launched a campaign - ‘Your Data Matters to the NHS’ – following the introduction of the Regulation to inform the public how the strict rules about how health and care data can and cannot be used have been strengthened.

The NHS says it is committed to keeping patient information safe and always being clear about how it is used.

The campaign will also inform the public they can choose whether their confidential patient information is used for research and planning. Information on the national data opt-out programme is available at NHS Digital's website.
