Care Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Keeley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 March 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Care Bill [Lords].

I thank my hon. Friend: he is being very generous in giving way. Does he agree that scope is an issue? The Hospital Episode Statistics database was

an administrative database, and that is what our data were being used for. My hon. Friend has made an important point about the loss of trust. When did any of us sign up to having our data used to recalculate the cost of insurance cover for long-term illness? When did we sign up to have it sold on a chargeable basis by BT and by MedRed, on its cloud system in the United States? Once control has gone, it is possible for the scope to vary all over the place.
