Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether the health data of people who have opted out of the care.data programme has been shared with non-NHS organisations.
This question was answered on 24th February 2015
No data have yet been extracted as part of the care.data programme. There will be no access to data that flow from the pathfinder practices, other than in a secure data facility on site at the Health and Social Care Information Centre in Leeds during the pathfinder stage.
No data will be extracted from the care.data programme until the National Data Guardian is satisfied the programme is ready for the extractions to begin.
