Do you want your confidential medical records electronically stored on The NHS database?

Dear [enter surgery name],



Re:The National Care Records Service (also known as



the NHS Database)



I would be grateful if you would ensure that none of



my records held by you are uploaded to the national



NHS database system. Would you please also file or



scan a copy of this letter in my records and also



record my dissent by entering the 鈥淩ead codes鈥?



93C3 Refused consent for upload to national shared



electronic record



93C1 Refused consent for upload to local shared



electronic record



9Nd1 No consent for electronic record sharing



into my computer record.



Please note that I do not want you to upload my



GP-held computerised records either to create the



Summary Care Record or the Detailed Care Record. I do



not want you to process my sensitive personal medical



data in this way.



This is an explicit refusal and I am exercising my



right to give you notice of my refusal as entitled



under section 10 of the Data Protection Act.



I am aware of the implications of this request and



will notify you should I change my mind.



I am not objecting to my surgery maintaining and



updating my GP-held, surgery-based computerised



medical records that are essential for my surgery to



provide me with appropriate and effective medical



care.



This request is itself confidential. Please do not
