Federated Data Platform could include GP records

According to Secretary of State for Health Victoria Atkins, GP data may be integrated into the future Federated Data Platform (FDP). The focus on bringing together GP data has raised concerns about privacy and data security, which Atkins addressed by emphasizing the importance of mitigating these concerns. Despite the potential benefits of integrating GP data, challenges such as incorporating private and insurance-funded services alongside NHS GP data, as well as addressing the funding and investment required to resolve data quality issues, remain significant obstacles.
