That is terrifying.

I am in a different country.

I argued with my doctor that I would not tell them confidential health related information that could have consequences for me, or held against me. They said "do not worry, it is entirely confidential".

I did not share the information, told my doctor lies (as I said I would if they were putting their notes in a database).

I feared hackers (happened recently to a neighbouring health group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waikato_District_Health_Board_...) but the NHS actually selling the data?

They are completely mad, bad, unbelievably irresponsible.
