The only data shared was that necessary to confirm who a person is, and the full data is only being used to confirm numbers. They started with the GP register as this seems to be the most comprehensive. The study showed that the census data from 2001 massively under estimated the population of the borough, which is having an effect on our ability to fund services. I think this is increasingly a problem for areas with largely transient populations.
I was not involved (or in fact here) when the project was ongoing, but if you would like further information, contact me off list and I will put you in touch with the project manager. From a DPA point of view, I think the processing falls under Schedule 2 Condition 5(d) in that its for a function of a public nature and is exercised in the public interest.
Kind regards,

Why?
What
has an individual’s medical information got to do with a council’s census
information what is the relationship here, unless I am plainly missing the point
here I can see no lawful grounds under DPA for the sharing of this sensitive
type data to support a census form (unless there is of course a statutory
requirement to do so). Its not for the names and addresses is it because
the council has the name address of everyone in their borough in order to
collect council/NNDR tax.
Would
be interesting to know what the grounds are being cited and what type of NHS
data are they looking to share?

Subject: Information sharing between
NHS and Councils for Census planning
It is being proposed
to share information about people's GP Practice registration with the city
council in order to support the preparation/planning being undertaken in advance
of the 2011 census.
If anyone has views
or information to share about this, I'd be glad to hear from
them.
Regards
