I'm sure some of you are aware of the NHS selling our info,you may of had the “Better information means better care” leaflet
http://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content...flet-01-14.pdf
It informs us that our Medical Records will be shared (sold) with third parties.
The NHS has been privatised, and this is the reason our medical records are being accessed by "third parties"/private corporations

.
Our records/information is worth a lot of money to these companies

They who just want to make money, at our cost

Good luck to the company who gets my medical records,they'll need extra staff to work out what goes on in my head
There is a "opt-out" option but its just a big scam IMHO,they'll still be able to request information, whether we like it or not

A bit of info
care.data
When we tell our doctor something, it is between him and us. Yes, he has to take notes and keep them, and yes these notes may be seen by a small number of 'selected individuals' at his surgery, but far as I am concerned, it is private (sometimes intimate).
If you thought your doctor would be sharing your medical data outside of that arrangement, would you think twice before seeking medical advice?
I would, The bond of absolute trust i thought we had would of been irreparably broken.
I'm aware institutions such as banks, energy companies, insurance companies who hold our data have made mistakes in the past and lost/misplaced info.
But as a urban explorer I've been in abandoned hospitals an seen patients personal info scattered around the floor.this info includes:
names,addresses,medical diagnoses (including cancer and mental health) and any complications,referrals to specialists,prescription info,family history,vaccinations and screening tests,blood test etc.
This leads me to the question how safe is our info?......did I just answer my own question?
