About this wiki

This wiki is maintained as an evidence-linked answer to:

What legislation, regulations, standards, confidentiality rules, guidance and other controls govern information sharing into and out of UK primary healthcare?

The maintained evidence currently supports primary healthcare in England. UK-wide data-protection law is included, but England-specific health legislation, regulations, contracts, NHS England standards and policy must not be assumed to apply unchanged in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
