That this House has considered use of digital records in the NHS.
I am delighted to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Wilson, and grateful to you and Mr Speaker for the opportunity to debate this matter. I am delighted to see my hon. Friend the Member …..." Geoffrey Clifton-Brown - View Speech
"My hon. Friend is extremely knowledgeable in this area. Is she aware of the campaign for the new-generation Bexsero meningitis B vaccine, which was developed by genomics? The NHS was the first health service in the world to allow two-month-old babies to receive that vaccine. The collection of data and …..." Geoffrey Clifton-Brown - View Speech
"I would not have intervened on my hon. Friend if we did not have plenty of time. She has developed the interesting theme of the benefit of the life sciences to our economy.

The next stage on from that is for the individual patient to be able to access the data themselves, which I do not think they can in the example that the Minister cited.

"I am very grateful for the opportunity to discuss what has, as I anticipated, turned out to be an incredibly important subject.

"I congratulate my hon. Friend on leading this very important debate. I have been involved in this campaign for a considerable while.
