It's definitely not going to be monetised. Definitely not.
and if you believe that, you're still waiting for the 350 mill from the bus.

Cool, I get that.
Its a national disgrace that we haven't got centralised primary care records for research purposes yet. We're massively lagging behind where we need to be. Totally agree that its a big ask for it to go ahead with protections that you can trust in place. I do not trust this government to protect our data. I personally won't be opting out though.

Why are people keen to opt out? Centralised health records for research is an incredibly positive thing for a country with such poor cancer and other health outcomes (compared to a lot of EU nations).
Is the concern that some time down the road this data would be sold out of the NHS or used for insurance purposes?
