Everyday there's some new underhand way of generating cash for their pockets, yet people will still vote in the next election :sad:

What?!! Am I reading what I think I'm reading? i.e. the sale of 'personal information' to organisations?

Found a quicker way to opt out.

This is the guy (https://twitter.com/smagdali) that made it - http://aheadrobot.com/

Also another read on the subject. http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-02/04/care-data-nhs-healthcare

and for a different view - https://www.meducation.net/questions/412-Can-Anyone-Here-Confidently-Say-That-They-Understand-Care-Data-

I've opted out (and my children). I have little trust in them to keep the data safe, and to keep me informed when they make changes to what's collected and who it's shared with. I only know about it because of the Guardian/Radio 4 and a few tweets, that goes to show they [Gov] did very little to get the message out.
