The Care.data programme will push the NHS towards a consent-based model of data sharing by 2020, but 100 per cent security of patient information can't be guaranteed, Tim Kelsey, NHS England's national director for patients and information, has admitted.

Kelsey was presenting a keynote session titled "The importance of unleashing the power of e-health" at the UK e-Health Week event at London Olympia. He also admitted that there are ethical issues to be considered surrounding Care.data, the controversial data-harvesting programme that has faced a lot of opposition.
