Very helpful paper for those of us not au fait with the detail of the
Somerset scheme : Thanks, Huw.
How do you de-identify the data before you share it? Can episode data be
linked in the de-identification system used? Fleur Fisher
PS Completely agree that patients confidentiality is MUCH better
protected on distributed GP systems rather than on some giant disease
register, which can and should only carry de-identified data (no, NOT the
NHS no. which on current plans ANYONE will be able tocross match with
the unsuspecting patient's name and address)
