HC Deb 26 April 1994 vol 242 c155W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans she has to take over ownership of data on patients in general practice; and who currently owns the written data held on patients in general practice.

Mr. Sackville

Ownership of records on patients, maintained by general practitioners in accordance with their terms of service, is vested in family health services authorities and we have no plans to change that.
