Or what if a charge was made to cover the administrative costs of sending the data over and running a safeguarding scheme to prevent its misuse? Would you approve of that?

You have to be amused by the paranoia over anonymised records being released to researchers here in the country with the most CCTV cameras per head, more even than China.

Re: Private health firms could be given access to anonymous NHS patient records & dat
It is a question of trust and these people only have profits just like the ambulance chasers.
Now if it stipulates that any of these companies will be prosecuted and lose their licence for a single breach of confidentiality then that would be different but we know that that will never ever happen.

Not really as a camera can only see but someone with my details could potentially try contacting me by bombarding me with numerous phone calls and texts.

There appears to be, imho, two separate conversations happening in this thread.

How could they do that, when the data is anonymised?

I take it you don't have or would consider using a Merseytravel Smartcard in that case?
You pay for all your shopping with cash and don't use any home delivery nor loyalty cards?
Your data is mined at a ridiculous rate, anonymised medical data is the least of the paranoid's worries.

While a life sciences research company are?
EDIT: "Forget the multi-million pound, possibly billion pound sums we could make from using this data to research, let's sell it for a few pence per record to ambulance chasers."
Ya.

All you paranoids seem to be forgetting that all your personal details are already at the mercy of unscrupulous nurses ,doctors and admin staff within the NHS .

nope ,some members have already decided that their personal information will be sold to the highest bidder without a shred of evidence .One would have thought that you with your various ailments would be up for this scheme if there is a possibility that it will result in better treatment in a more timely fashion or are you just happy to reap any benefits ?
