Goldacre also had an interesting follow-up exchange with Tim Kelsey on twitter: http://storify.com/bengoldacre/discussing-the-care-data-mess-with-tim-kelsey-who
One thing they both agree on - this is too important to fail.

I noticed yesterday an excellent article in the Guardian from Ben Goldacre (The NHS plan to share our medical data can save lives: but must be done right. - http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/feb/21/nhs-plan-share-medical-data-save-lives ) beginning to balance of some of the other hysteria and feeding good material through such channels could bring benefits.
If you want to save lab data for research then we need to campaign publically.
Maybe the ACB and College should help.
