IMPORTANT - information about the General Practice Data for Planning and Research
This is a new data service developed by NHS Digital to collect data from GP medical records to support health and care planning and research in England.
This data service does not presently apply to General Practices' in Wales and is specifically for those Practices providing contracted services to English residents within England.
There is no requirement for patients registered in Wales to inform their GP of "Dissent from secondary use of GP patient identifiable data' either via a template, letter, email or verbally as the processing of information for this purpose does not currently apply to Welsh GP held data.
