Re: FTFY

Given NHS Digital's former chairman is quoted as saying " health secretary Sajid Javid's decision to merge NHS Digital into NHS England and NHS Improvement last year was a "retrograde step not least in the context of this government's clear intent to weaken the constraints on the use of patient data."

It would seem the threat to data privacy he is referring to is it not being subject to weakened usage constraints... I fail to see how this is "a backward step for patient data rights"...
