The national data opt-out gives everyone the ability to stop health and social care organisations from sharing their confidential information for research and planning purposes, with some exceptions such as where there is a legal mandate/direction or an overriding public interest, for example, to help manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a domiciliary care provider, it is very rare that we are asked to share confidential information for research purposes, however you do reserve the right to ‘opt-out’ for your data to be used in this way.
If you do wish to ‘opt-out’ or for more information on how we are using your data, please call 01732790001 and ask to speak to the Registered Manager or email [email protected].
