Medical Records: Disclosure of Information
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Great North Care Record and its opt-in model for data sharing.
- Answer
-
The Great North Care Record is a local initiative led by the Connected Health Cities initiative and supported by general practices, hospitals, community and mental health trusts across the North East and North Cumbria region. It aims to make an agreed set of information from each organisation immediately available between health and care professionals using a secure, electronic system to help provide the best treatment.
The Department understands that people receiving treatment at emergency departments or out of hours services ‘opt in’ at the point of care by giving permission for their Great North Care Record to be viewed by health professionals and that people can ‘opt out’ of the scheme via their general practitioner practice.
The Department has not made any assessment of the effectiveness of these arrangements.
