Care Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 March 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Care Bill [Lords].

The hon. Lady is making important points about the need to be clear about what these data are used for. There is an argument that anonymised and properly controlled data have a part to play in the area of medical research. Does she think that should be out of scope, or can we have safeguards that enable it to be in scope? Understanding whether a medicine works in a particular way with a population is a very powerful use of such data. In her view, is that appropriate or not?
