Not widely publicised, but plans are afoot to sell off personal health records held at GP surgeries. There’s a very short time period in which individuals can opt out of this if they so choose, retaining the right to who has access to very personal information.

This is a link to Guardian explaining situation, there are lots of other links about what is happening, so feel free to Google elsewhere. I will post a link to the opt out website, it’s easy to choose, all you need is name, date of birth and your NHS number.
