SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTIONS

PATIENT DECLARATION for all patients who are not ordinarily resident in the UKAnybody in England can register with a GP practice and receive free medical care from that practice.

However, if you are not ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK you may have to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. Being ordinarily resident broadly means living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis for the time being. In most cases, nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area must also have the status of ‘indefinite leave to remain’ in the UK.

Some services, such as diagnostic tests of suspected infectious diseases and any treatment of those diseases are free of charge to all people, while some groups who are not ordinarily resident here are exempt from all treatment charges.

More information on ordinary residence, exemptions and paying for NHS services can be found in the Visitor and Migrant patient leaflet, available from your GP practice.

You may be asked to provide proof of entitlement in order to receive free NHS treatment outside of the GP practice, otherwise you may be charged for your treatment. Even if you have to pay for a service, you will always be provided with any immediately necessary or urgent treatment, regardless of advance payment.

The information you give on this form will be used to assist in identifying your chargeable status, and may be shared, including with NHS secondary care organisations (e.g. hospitals) and NHS Digital, for the purposes of validation, invoicing and cost recovery. You may be contacted on behalf of the NHS to confirm any details you have provided.

Please tick one of the following boxes:

a) I understand that I may need to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice

b) I understand I have a valid exemption from paying for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. This includes for example, an EHIC, or payment of the Immigration Health Charge (“the Surcharge”), when accompanied by a valid visa. I can provide documents to support this when requestedc) I do not know my chargeable status

I declare that the information I give on this form is correct and complete. I understand that if it is not correct, appropriate action may be taken against me.A parent/guardian should complete the form on behalf of a child under 16.

How will your EHIC/PRC/S1 data be used? By using your EHIC or PRC for NHS treatment costs your EHIC or PRC data and GP appointment data will be shared with NHS secondary care (hospitals) and NHS Digital solely for the purposes of cost recovery. Your clinical data will not be shared in the cost recovery process.

Your EHIC, PRC or S1 information will be shared with The Department for Work and Pensions for the purpose of recovering your NHS costs from your home country.

Your emergency care summary

Summary Care Record – your emergency care summary

The NHS in England is introducing the Summary Care Record, which will be used in emergency care.

The record will contain information about any medicines you are taking, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had to ensure those caring for you have enough information to treat you safely.

Your Summary Care Record will be available to authorised healthcare staff providing your care anywhere in England, but they will ask your permission before they look at it. This means that if you have an accident or become ill, the doctors treating you will have immediate access to important information about your health.

Your GP practice is supporting Summary Care Records and as a patient you have a choice:

• Yes I would like a Summary Care Record – you do not need to do anything and aSummary Care Record will be created for you.

• No I do not want a Summary Care Record – enclosed is an opt out form. Pleasecomplete the form and hand it to a member of the GP practice staff.

If you need more time to make your choice you should let your GP Practice know.

For more information talk to GP practice staff, visit the website www.nhscarerecords.nhs.uk or telephone the dedicated NHS Summary Care Record Information Line on 0300 123 3020.

Additional copies of the opt out form can be collected from the GP practice, printed from the website www.nhscarerecords.nhs.uk or requested from the dedicated NHS Summary Care Record Information Line on 0300 123 3020.

You can choose not to have a Summary Care Record and you can change your mind at any time by informing your GP practice.

If you do nothing we will assume that you are happy with these changes and create a Summary Care Record for you. Children under 16 will automatically have a Summary Care Record created for them unless their parent or guardian chooses to opt them out. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 16 and feel that they are old enough to understand, then you should make this information available to them.

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO

YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS

GP practices across England will soon be

required to supply patients’ personal and

confidential medical information, on a regular

and continuous basis, to the Health and Social

Care Information Centre (HSCIC).

The data upload is due to commence in March

2014 and all households should receive a

leaflet (‘Better information means better care’)

through their letterbox about this in January.

Details from your medical record will be

extracted from the practice in a form that can

identify you, and will include your NHS number,

date of birth, postcode, gender and ethnicity,

together with your medical diagnoses (including

cancer and mental health), their complications,

referrals to specialists, your prescriptions, your

family history, details of your vaccinations and

screening tests, your blood test results, your

body mass index, and your smoking/alcohol

habits.

This programme is called care.data, and the

information uploaded will be used for purposes

other than your direct medical care (so-called

“secondary uses”).

Medical staff treating you in GP surgeries,

hospitals, A&E and out-of-hours centres will not

use, or be able to use, this database. However,

the uploaded data is likely to be made available

to organisations outside of the NHS, such as

universities and commercial organisations.

Under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, GP

practices have no choice but to allow the HSCIC

to extract this information.

Once the data has been extracted, the GP

practice is no longer the data controller for that

information, and cannot control or protect in any

way how that information is used, shared or who

has access to it.

Although GP practices cannot object to this

information leaving the practice, individual

patients and their families can instruct their

practice to prohibit the transfer of their data, i.e.

you have the right to opt-out.

If you do nothing, i.e. you do not opt out, then

your medical information will be extracted and

uploaded to the HSCIC.

Once uploaded, you will not be able to get this

data deleted by the HSCIC. So if you want to

opt out, you need to act now.

To opt out, simply fill in your details on the form

to the right of this page, cut it out and post it or

drop it in to your GP practice, marked for the

attention of your GP. If you wish to opt out your

children or other members of your family for

whom you are responsible, you can add their

details on the back of the form.

This is not the Summary Care Record. The two

databases are very different. Opting out of one

database does not mean that you have

automatically opted out of the other.

Further information about the care.data

programme is available online - details overleaf.

Dear Doctor,

I am writing to give notice that I refuse consent for my identifiable information and the identifiable information of those for whom I am responsible [delete as appropriate] to be transferred from your practice systems for any purpose other than our medical care.

Please take whatever steps necessary to ensure my confidential personal information is not uploaded and record my dissent by whatever means possible.

This includes adding the ‘Dissent from secondary use of GP patient identifiable data’ code (Read v2: 9Nu0 or CVT3: XaZ89) to my record as well as the ‘Dissent from disclosure of personal confidential data by Health and Social Care Information Centre’ code (Read v2: 9Nu4 or CTV3: XaaVL).

I am aware of the implications of this request, understand that it will not affect the care we receive and will notify you should I change my mind.

This leaflet was written with the help of Dr

Neil Bhatia, GP. We recommend you visit his

website www.care-data.info which provides

a more comprehensive view of the

care.data programme than the ‘Better

information means better care’ leaflet you

may have seen.

NHS England does provide some more

details at www.nhs.uk/caredata and the
