Earlier today we got a bunch of detail out of @NHSDigital’s Board papers and services performance pack - what of that will continue post-#merger?

With the news that the Government is rushing through @NHSEngland’s takeover of the statutory safe haven (@NHSDigital) with about the level of planning that went into the 'fiscal event', where exactly *are* things as the former/new Sec State starts work?

Finally, the #GoldacreReview is published! (During Parliamentary Easter holidays, mid-ping-pong on the #HealthAndCareBill...)
It's 221 pages - each PDF page is a double page spread - so this could be a lo-o-o-ong [Thread].

First point to note, in the Terms of Reference (p5), is that this is about "access to #NHSdata by #researchers, #commissioners, and #innovators" - i.e. #Planning and #CommercialReUse - so it is directly relevant to the operation of millions of people's #NationalDataOptOuts...

Before I start a geeky 'deep dive' on the #NHSnumber, to provide some (personal/professional) context that will hopefully become apparent, I'll just drop these two images here:

Hi, @BHFDataScience! Please could you point me to a copy of your letter that is reported here:

I've checked your website, but I can't seem to find a copy:

Ah, no worries - I see it now. You tweeted a link to it, and I see it is on @HDR_UK's website:

On paragraph 3, we very much agree that #trustworthy use of patient data for #ethically-approved #research is good.
But not ALL intended uses of #GPDPR *are* trustworthy, as @NHSDigital's own data release registers confirm:

I'm afraid not. For the 2021 #GPdata grab, to prevent your entire GP history being copied by @NHSDigital you must ask your GP to add a 'Type 1' opt-out to your GP record.
The official form to do that is here:
nhs-prod.global.ssl.fastly.net/binaries/conte…
Or you can use ours:
medconfidential.org/how-to-opt-out/

The GP Privacy Notice* issued by @NHSDigital is on first glance a bit confusing, suggesting you can do a #Type1 "or" a #NationalDataOptOut - but (as the Notice goes on to explain) the latter WILL NOT STOP your #GPdata from being taken...

...and if you do not opt out using a #Type1 to your GP before data is first extracted (from 1 July 2021*) then your entire GP history will be taken on first upload - and will NEVER be deleted!

*Hence the 23 June 2021 deadline, so your opt-out form(s) can be processed in time.
