Re: Remove names

Not as simple as just removing names. Give me the postcodes, age and ethnicity and I'll put most of the names back. A full postcode is far too much information for any reasonable measure of anonymity (same applies to the NHS Care.data debacle). Postal district should be adequate for the vast majority of needs.
