Re: Why opt out ?

Hi Zippy´s Sausage Factory...can i bring to your attention and others this nhs-data-matters is only for hospital/clinic info...you need to complete an opt out form from which you have to return to your GP surgery...cant be done online..lots of people are currently being mislead about this. The opt out 1 form has a closing date for 1st sept but theres speculation that it will be closed from 25th august the week before as in the earlier case of 23rd june for the 1st july close off. However, i am hearing so many GP surgeries making it nigh on impossible to get the data to them..not supplying their email address, not acknowledging data forms being sent, not accepting the forms at the surgery (unless you had an appointment to see gp - which is incredibly hard to get)... but please pass the word around it is not the link you refrence above that needs urgently completed..its the opt out1 form read the following https://medconfidential.org/how-to-opt-out/
