GPs have voted in favour of a system where patients must opt-in to NHS England’s controversial care.data information sharing scheme.

According to leading doctors, patient records must only be extracted and added to the system with their “explicit and informed consent.”

The General Practitioners Committee (GPC) has said that NHS England must abide by the findings of a pilot of around 100-150 practices that will look at patient awareness of the programme and data quality.
