TYPE 1 – OPT OUT – MEDICAL RECORDS HELD AT YOUR GP PRACTICE
You can also tell your GP Practice if you do not want your confidential patient information held in your GP record to be used for purposes other than your individual care. This is commonly called a TYPE 1 OPT OUT. This opt out request can only be recorded by your GP Practice.
TYPE 2 – OPT OUT – INFORMATION HELD BY NHS DIGITAL
Previously, you could tell your GP surgery if you did not want NHS Digital to share confidential patient information that we collect from across the health & care service for purposes other than your individual care. This was called a TYPE 2 OPT-OUT. The TYPE 2 OPT OUT was replaced by the National Data Opt Out. Type 2 opt outs recorded before 11/10/2018 have been automatically converted to data-opt-outs.
