Information about your health and care helps us to improve your
individual care, speed up diagnosis, plan your local services and
research new treatments. In May 2018, the strict rules about
how this data can and cannot be used were strengthened.
The NHS is committed to keeping patient information safe and
always being clear about how it is used. You can choose whether
your confidential patient information is used for research and planning.
