SIR – The good news is NHS England has just announced it is postponing its intention to share patients’ medical records for six months.
They are apparently doing this because they seek to win public support for the plan.
Hopefully, with wider feedback from the public, they will agree to pay closer attention to protecting patient confidentiality and drop any intention to share information with private companies.
