What information about me do you want to add?

The information we would like to add is kept in your health and economic records.

National Health Service (NHS) records

The NHS maintains information on all patients accessing health services through routine medical and other health-related records. These records are held within statistical health databases which record information about:

– admissions or attendances at hospital (including dates of admission, discharge or attendance, diagnoses received, treatments given, surgical procedures)

– visits to your family doctor or other health professional, e.g. midwife

– records of specific conditions such as cancer or diabetes

– prescriptions given.

Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) records

The DWP keeps records of everybody’s benefit claims and any periods people spend on employment programmes.

Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) records

HMRC keeps record of everybody’s employment, earnings, tax credits and occupational pensions (since 1998) and National Insurance Contributions since the early 1970s.

We will only obtain information from these records if we have permission from you.
