How we look after your information
Collecting data on health and care is an important part of our role in the health service. We collect and store some information from everyone's health and care records so that it can be used to run the health service, manage epidemics, plan for the future, and research health conditions, diseases and treatments. We always make sure data we collect is handled securely and in line with the law. We don't hold your medical records.
