I'm grateful to all for responses on and off list. The general view is
against such sharing but, interestingly, I now know of two areas in which
this data sharing has been undertaken, so I obviously need to look further
into what legislation/agreements enabled this.
Regards
Jim

Regardless of legality, it would be unlikely to work in places such as
London where a GP's list could be made up of people from two or three
different boroughs. I doubt the practices would have the resources to make
accurate reports to each borough. That is also assuming that their lists
are up to date. I don't suppose that removing themselves from a GPs list is
top priority for all those migrant workers who are now returning home, or
even house-sharers who have moved on.

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
Jim Whitaker
