Clearly there are dangers and adequate safeguards must be set in place, but if the stated aim is to give a further advantage to the UK's life sciences sector by giving it access to data that will improve its ability to devise new treatments, what really is the problem? British business benefits and British hospital patients benefit.
As above getting hounded by these firms who will buy our details hence I will opt out at the first chance I get as will many other people once they realise the opt out is in place.

I do not want my private life interrupted by some ******* firm/s trying to make a fast buck from my personal details.
