I'm sure well-intentioned @CamCavendish but this piece completely mashes up #datasharing for #DirectCare of a patient and data sharing for #ResearchAndPlanning, and other 'secondary uses'. These are VERY different in legal basis, IT systems, and privacy.

It's complex and it doesn't make for punchy articles, but it's very important that we are totally clear about the distinction between Direct Care and Planning/Research.
At present, data sharing for Direct Care STILL lags significantly behind data sharing for secondary uses

Because they are built on totally different technologies, progress towards Research and Planning uses of #GPData doesn't advance the cause for Direct Care one iota.
Which is why it's so important the distinction is made and understood. Conflating the issues is counterproductive.
