Hello people
Recently I was alarmed when I read the news sources about the government’s plans to gather up all GP medical records in England to be up for sale by adding on NHS Digital. 😮🚨
I didn’t know all of that until two days ago.
My rant
How on earth is the public not being consulted regarding the government’s contemptible intentions to sell off GP medical records (including mine & yours = ours) to third parties and private firms? It is shockingly unbelievable. I am not going to allow my GP medical record which is confidentially personal and private to be ever sold and harvested to third parties. No way!!! 😠
Prime Minister Boris Johnson can go to hell & other cabinet ministers. Given they (Conservatives) are the party of privatisation. Even Jeremy Corbyn (then Labour leader) challenged him (Boris Johnson) in 2019 UK general election challenge, accusing him of plans to sell off the NHS.
Boris Johnson (Prime Minister) insisted that the NHS will not be privatised.
“Our NHS will never be for sale”.
Said by the Prime Minister who is quietly willing to sell it off to US Corporation. Palantir. bbc.co.uk cnbc.com US tech giant.
Selling the NHS off to US Corporations and for what? Selling GP records to private firms & third parties is the start of this? For profit!!? What a shocker!!!
This is really NHS Data Grab. Very appalling.
Guys, if you live in England like me, we have got until 23rd June to opt out of our GP medical records to be shared & sold. I will opt out.
This is tech authoritarianism and that can be used & it would be open for hacking, identity theft & anything dodgy that could potentially be privacy and security problems. Even if it is anonymised because I know for one do not trust the government.
GP records should never be up for sale. It is outrageous that the idea of selling confidential & personal information such as GP medical records for marketing purposes is allowed quietly by the government (Tories under three prime ministers since 2010) who have underfunded the National Health Service and that they would see NHS to be under privatisation.
This is between patient and doctor at GP regarding medical information. Anything from GP appointments to health information about the person (mental health, sexual health, prescriptions, etc). Yet the Conservative govt have a screw loose & wanting to sell it. All for commercial purposes.
So guys, please do fill in opt outs (paper & online) to make sure your GP records is not to be sold to third parties & private companies. This only applies to anyone who lives in England.
