Probably using the diabetic register created (against many people's better judgement) to screen for eye problems. I have consented to be on a register in Sheffield for eye screening as I was diabetic when on steroids a few years ago. In the last 6 months 3 national research studies have contacted me. I gave an anagram of my post code to the eye screening service so I would know where the data went. It would seem that the Universities of Oxford, Southampton and one of the London Schools got their data from this data base.
