@C7RKY HSCIC have not denied that actuaries had access to HES. This article doesn't help people understand the issues around that. -

@amcunningham The article brings to the public attention the existence & potential abuse of HSCIC's database. The one they can't opt out of -
@C7RKY 'potential abuse' ... what is potential about what is described? -

@amcunningham I use the word 'potential' in respect of the vast swathes of GP data that we can't currently stop from being added to HSCIC. -
@C7RKY yes but in mean time I think more should be found out about who CPRD data is made available to now. -
@amcunningham Oh I entirely agree. It should be frozen pending review imho. But for me this was#caredata's hidden card too. Needed exposing -
@C7RKY but this is easy to dismiss...'law has changed'.. or am I missing something? -

@C7RKY no- how data is used does matter- but this piece is really poor. I don't think it will help discussions. -
@amcunningham Actually, I'd disagree. Whatever the rights & wrongs of the piece, this will provoke discussion that is sorely needed for me -
@C7RKY maybe you are right and@lauradonnlee piece will lead to more light than heat. I hope so.
