NHSX in England has said that in the current circumstances with COVID-19 it could be more harmful not to share health and care information than to share it.
The organisation has had assurances from the Information Commissioner that she "cannot envisage a situation where she would take action against a health and care professional clearly trying to deliver care”.
NHSX states: “We will need to work in different ways from usual and the focus should be what information you share and who you share it with, rather than how you share it.”
