NHS Digital Data Release Register - reformatted
This is a readable version of NHS England's Data Uses Registers (updated monthly since 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.
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 (2026/07), NHSD chose to respect optouts in 46% of 2900 data releases of personal data.
