NHS Digital Data Release Register - reformatted
This is a readable version of NHS England's Data Release Registers since April 2016 - the "complete" list of where NHS England sends data on hospital patients after being paid a processing fee, and whether that release respected opt outs or not. To make that choice for you and your family, medConfidential has details on how.
A small number of other data uses in COVID-19 is available from NHS Digital, in addition to an incomplete spreadsheet from NHS England withholding most data uses.
This page is updated roughly monthly when NHS England publish more data.
Did they respect the opt out (or sell your data anyway)?
For the last month we know about (2025/10), NHSD chose to respect optouts in 47% of 2878 data releases of personal data.
Was the National Data Opt Out respected:
- 1537: No - "Does not include the flow of confidential data"
- 464: Yes
- 386: Statutory exemption to flow confidential data without consent
- 358: Consent (Reasonable Expectation)
- 90: Section 251 NHS Act 2006
- 27: Mixture of confidential data flow(s) with support under section 251 NHS Act 2006 and "non-confidential" data flow(s)
- 13: No -
- 3: Mixture of confidential data flow(s) with consent and flow(s) with support under section 251 NHS Act 2006
