UK: Health on-line: public attitudes to data sharing in the Scottish NHS

01 November 2005

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

Report from the Scottish Consumer Council. Interesting report as most people do not realise that a national NHS database is being set up containing all patient's personal records. It is being created on the basis that people have to "opt-out" (presuming they know what is happening) rather than positive consent by "opting-in".

Our work is only possible with your support.
