Written by a private patient
6th July 2022


I was today prevented by NHS staff from attending my pre-booked private consultation with a consultant. For my protection, I am one of the growing number of people who has opted out of NHS data sharing, I take active steps to prevent the NHS obtaining or accessing my data. This is why I booked a private consultation. Arrogant NHS staff told me I could not see my consultant if I did not agree to my data being held on the NHS system - for a private consultation! I believe NHS is acting unlawfully and contrary to the GDPR; you have no authority to block access to my consultant on condition I give you my data. I am not obliged to share ANY data with you. Every day I am more and more disgusted by the arrogance and lack of humanity shown by NHS people. There is no legal or lawful basis for me to give you any of my data in order to access a consultation I am paying for privately. I had taken 1/2 a day off work to attend, only for this smarmy manager to tell me he was preventing me from seeing him.
