Senior health tech pros warn NHS England: Be transparent with mass database trawl or face public backlash

My answer is the same as it was to care.data. NO. NO. NO.

Nobody outside the NHS gets their hands on my medical history without my explicit consent to each and every access which must state explicitly who wants the access, what they want it for, for how long and how access will be terminated and the data deleted. GDPR penalties must be levied on companies and individuals using NHS data for any failure to comply with these conditions.

But, I have a great idea for a trial program. Run a pilot using the medical records of all members of Parliament and their families, all members of the House of Lords with their families and everybody in the NHS from Senior Consultant upwards with THEIR families. If there isn't a 100% buy-in from this cohort, then any idea of NHS data sharing should be completely and irrevocably forbidden.
