This is what happens when you vote in people who think public services should be run for profit.
All sorts of dodgy stuff starts getting done, for profit. |  |

Can't see a problem myself if it helps fund the NHS. So some one wants to know my medical history I couldnt care less. It may well help medical research. |  | | |

... which is all cool, I don't disagree with your viewpoint there at all - but you should be asked first.
Like organ donation, you should be asked to opt-in, rather than opt-out.
By the way, everyone should sign up for organ donation, in my opinion.

You don't care that a public service your taxes pay for is willing to sell your personal data for cash?
Jesus. OK, mate. |  |

I'm sure it will help fund medical research, but at the same time the opting out should be easy and obvious, if not opt in.
I doubt most people will be aware.
On a positive note though, this sort of data is incredibly useful when it comes to research. |  |

Here's a wacky idea. How about we do that by closing tax loopholes, cancelling HS2 and Trident and removing the internal market instead? | |

Re organ transplant its just as easy to opt out as to opt in.My son had a heart & lung transplant in 2014. If someone hadn't have donated there organs, I would have lost my son & town would have lost a season ticket holder. | | | |

Might be a bit weird if you suddenly saw your car insurance skyrocket though due to the fact your BP is a bit high and your insurer suddenly deems you a heart attack at the wheel risk
Or Google start to push erectile dysfunction pils adverts at you because you saw the Dr about some problems down there, not that you would need to I’m sure
And like Fungers says, it should be opt in not opt out. [Post edited 28 May 2021 17:52]

I would expect the NHS would be wary os to whom has access to data. However if someone is concerned about me getting a stiffy at 70 years old just send a porn movie | | | |

I can't say I know for certain but I imagine this data is available only for medical research purposes. | |

Yes, I understand how digital marketing works, thank you.
The point remains that it's a publically funded body that wants to sell your personal and medical data (which is extremely valuable) with no benefit to you.
Do you think taxes would be lower if you consented? | |

No I dont think taxes would be lower. If it increases revenue to the NHS I have no problem with it . It is a personal choice. I have had a heart attack & a triple heart bypass . My son has I have mentioned in an earlier post has had aheart & lung transplant if my data helps orther people I have no issue with it. | | | |

Even wackier idea, not give £73million to Tate & Lyle by scrapping tariffs on the import of raw cane sugar, coincidently Tate & Lyle are Conservative party donors and the only company to import cane sugar into the UK.

Join the farmers, fisher folk, exporters and sundry others....who appear to only have now woke up to what has been going on
