https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/13/nhs_data_grab/:
" 'Biggest data grab' in NHS history stuffs GP records into a central store for 'research' – and the time to opt out is now.
The
55 million citizens of England will need to opt out of the involuntary
scheme before it is introduced to prevent the entire history of their GP
visits being slurped, campaigners told us. Opt-out forms are here
[.docx]. We understand you will need to give this form to your GP
practice before 23 June or your data held by your GP joins the central
repository."
