The Government has instructed GPs in England to hand over your lifelong medical history.

Your GP may not have a choice, BUT YOU DO... until 23rd June.

If you don’t want your family’s sensitive data sucked up by Hancock’s sneaky #GPdata grab, send or give this letter to your GP:
Here’s the link to a printable PDF version of the letter:

medconfidential.org/wp-content/upl…

And here’s an editable MS Word (.docx) version:

medconfidential.org/wp-content/upl…

And if you need further instructions, visit our straightforward ‘How to opt out’ page:

medconfidential.org/how-to-opt-out/
This really is happening 👇 but the Government is keeping quiet; @MattHancock doesn’t want you to know.

So please tell your family and friends.

They may not know this is about to happen, but if they don’t opt out before their #GPdata is uploaded IT WILL NEVER BE DELETED.
Confusingly, there are TWO opt-outs:

The #GP opt-out is 100% effective

The other one covers your #Hospital data & can be done online: nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-… but ONLY if you’re over 13 & it has lots of #loopholes

If you have kids under 13, you need a PDF to email or post back.
You may hear your data will be "anonymised", that they won't take your name.

They don't NEED to, and it isn't #anonymous at all.

Because if it were truly anonymous they couldn't link your #GPdata to your #hospital records - which they say they can and will do...
They’ll say they aren’t #selling your data, but here’s this year’s price list:

Did you know your medical data was worth so little to the Government? Did they ever ask you? (Of course, it’s worth billions to Ministers’ mates...)
What can you do? Three simple steps:

(1) OPT OUT & TELL OTHERS:

medconfidential.org/how-to-opt-out/

(2) Tweet about why this matters to you.

(3) Link to the first tweet in this [Thread]:



(Remember, this affects patients registered with a GP in England ONLY.)
You have the power to act, but you need to act SOON.

And you don't have to take our word for it: @NHSDigital itself says the deadline to get your opt-out form to your GP is 23 JUNE 2021:
