NHS England says it “only shares de-identified data with organisations". But privacy experts have criticised this position "given the richness of the data and the relative ease by which re-identification could occur." The datastore also contains “workforce analytics” data and something called “strike analysis”, which NHS England said was created “in anticipation of industrial action” but had never been used in practice.
