A GP has taken the decision to automatically opt all of his patients out of the care.data extract scheme despite being told it is ?against the law to do so?.
The GP in Oxford, who wished to remain anonymous, has sent a letter to students and staff at the university ? with a further letter to be sent to his non-university patient population shortly ? to inform them they will have to opt in to the scheme if they wish to have their data used by NHS England.
He was taking this approach, which he understands is against the law, because of fears that the information will be misused and will not be fully anonymous as the Government has promised.
