What is the National Data Opt-Out

The national data opt-out gives everyone the ability to stop health and adult social care organisations from sharing their confidential patient information for reasons other than providing their individual care and treatment. The national data opt-out only applies where the data processing relies upon Regulation 5 of the Control of Patient Information Regulations 2002.

Individuals can view or change their national data opt-out choice at any time by using the online service at www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters or by calling 0300 303 5678 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm)
