> There's only one way to address this on a personal level: don't give any private sensitive information to anyone working in the NHS. If they ask for such, say no and say why. Sometimes you can persuade a health-care professional to make no notes whatsoever on the information that you give them, in that case it might be worth the risk. Make sure you save their name, remind them that regular data leaks from the NHS mean that if they are lying to you, you will find out. That last sentence really sounds like a threat. If I was a health care worker and you said that to me, I would definitely document your words in your chart, report you to law enforcement, and tell you that I am unable to provide care without documenting it in your chart as that is legally dangerous for me and medically dangerous for you.
