The #GPDPR #GPdata upload will still be going ahead, but it will no longer be starting on 1 September 2021 - the programme will have to meet 3 (or 4) #tests first instead:

We'll let you do the diff between the "criteria" laid out in the announcement on @NHSDigital website and the "key areas of work" listed in the letter to GPs from @Jochurchill4 this afternoon:

Which will all make the oral evidence session in front of @CommonsHealth Committee tomorrow morning quite interesting...

See you there!

Here's the video of @CommonsHealth's #evidence session on #GPDPR (the '#GPdata grab') this morning:

There's clearly still some confusion around what some of the words mean(!) and no commitment to write to every patient once things have been fixed...

...which is odd, as you'd think the Government would WANT to tell patients what it has done (once it's all been done, and been *seen* to be done) to demonstrate the #trustworthiness of the new measures like #TRE-only and offer people the chance to opt back in.

If our data is...

...so valuable - some say £10 billion a year - then what is the cost of writing to each individual named patient compared with that?

Sending a #JunkMail leaflet as in 2014, or doing web stuff as in 2021 doesn't come close to what we've said is necessary.

For the past 8 years.
