The Government approached Dame Fiona Caldicott to lead an independent review to see how best to balance the need to keep patient information secure with the need to share it among health and care professionals for legitimate reasons and to monitor progress against her recommendations. The review’s report, “Information: to share or not to share” and the Government’s response document are available on line.
