Concerns over England's new system for collecting general practitioner data

I really don’t think this is a good idea.

The current plan is for GP data for the past 10 years to be extracted and shared with NHS Digital from Sept 1. The data will include information on diagnoses, symptoms, test results, and sexual, physical, and mental health. NHS Digital will also gather information on sex, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Names and addresses will not be collected, nor will written notes—eg, those detailing conversations between patients and medical staff.
