Where I see it reported, it’s treated as a scandal even when the company in question is Alphabet and they got the data for AI research: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/jun/10/nhs-data-google-alphabet-tech-drug-firms https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/jun/10/nhs-data-goo... Medical privacy is one of those places where I wonder if a personal desire for privacy might hurt society as a whole — Almost, but not quite, like the tragedy of the commons.

GP Practices simply encourage patients to go running and have all the details of their local parkrun to hand https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/a776238/parkrun-uk-teams-up-with-gps-to-prescribe-running-and-active-lifestyles-to-patients/ https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/a776238/parkrun-uk-teams-up-...
