Re: What protections are there for individuals?
This is what the politicians and NHS execs. don't understand
It's not that they don't understand, they don't care.
It's blindingly obvious that no-one is going to pay significant amounts of money for access to the data in order to save the NHS money by coming up with new and cheaper forms of treatment. They're only going to pay for it if it helps maximise their revenue. The two things that would most significantly benefit health in the UK don't even involve medical expenditure (and indeed would significantly reduce it) - getting people out of cars and improving their diet. This has nothing to do with the health of the UK population, it's people looking for the same kind of sinecure that Nick Clegg scored.
