The NHS can only go so far with sorting data quality – is there going to be some public awareness raising?
Patients own their own demographic data. The NHS Care Records Service is the custodian of it, and this custody is protected by the Data Protection Acts and Caldicott Guardian rules. Both the patient and the NHS have responsibilities to ensure that demographic data is accurate and up to date. NHS Connecting for Health is developing a public awareness campaign. In Healthspace, patients will be able to access their NHS records via the internet – this should result in improved data quality.
