The information we hold about you is solely for the purpose of caring for your health and will only be seen by those who need to. There is a possibility of patient information being used by other organisations for the purpose of managing your care or the management of health care services. In addition, recent changes to IT and NHS policy have made it possible to share information with other healthcare professionals e.g. hospitals.
