KONP IS CALLING FOR

  • Transparency in the use of our health data: we should know who is using our data, on whose say so, and for what purpose. Our rights to opt out must be maintained.
  • Sound governance of our health data to ensure patients’ trust.
  • Clarity about how to opt out of third party access to our data, and what consent means.
  • Stewardship of personal health data to rest with the NHS, supported by proper, state-funded investment that will allow the NHS to develop the relevant technologies and staff training.
  • Meaningful citizen engagement about how NHS data can be used.
  • An independent regulator whose primary aim is the rights of citizens rather than the interests of commerce.
  • The potential of health data to be used for the benefit of patients and the public good, not private profit.
