Corsham Institute Public Health Data Survey

A survey of British adults on their views around the storage of patient data.

Seven in ten (70%) British adults say they are confident that their NHS patient data is stored securely, while a quarter (25%) are not.
Of the places tested, British adults are most likely to say they would be comfortable with their patient data being stored on their local NHS branch’s computer server (73%), and least likely to say this for clouds managed by global companies under non-UK jurisdiction (19%).
Only in ten (28%) British adults report being aware of patient data being stored on a cloud – and nine in ten (92%) say that having strict limits on who could access their records would be important to them if their patient data was stored in such a way.
