It's certainly possible to do, whether or not the controls are in place to prevent re-identification is a different matter...
The document I linked says they do have these controls in place but having done my fair slog in the NHS I'm doubtful.
- LatteLazy 6y agoThe best I can see from there pdf is that the data will be "pseudonymised". Maybe I'm misreading it... I'll be impressed if there is some clever mathematical process to truly anonymise it!
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoI'm reminded of Schneier's Law: Any person can invent a security system so clever that he or she can't imagine a way of breaking it. Does something similar apply here? Can it be formally proven that there's no way to de-anonymise the data?
