Your rights
You have certain legal rights, including a right to have your information processed fairly, lawfully and in a transparent manner, and a right to access any personal information we hold about you. These are just some of the rights provided to you under the UK GDPR and DPA 2018. Below is a list of further rights.
You have the right to privacy and to expect the NHS to keep your information confidential and secure.
If we do hold identifiable information about you, you can ask us to correct any mistakes by contacting us at the address detailed in the Contact Us section below.
You have the right to ask us to stop processing information about you where we are not required to do so by law – although we will first need to explain how this may affect the care you receive.
In some instances, you are allowed to request that your confidential information is not used beyond your own care and treatment and to have your objections considered. If your wishes cannot be followed, you will be told the reason (including the legal basis) for that decision.
If you wish to exercise your right to opt-out, or to speak to somebody to understand the impact this may have, if any, please contact us.
If you wish to know what personal information the ICB holds about you, or to request access to that information, then please contact us.
To protect your confidentiality, you will have to provide proof of who you are.
All information held by the ICB is governed by the ICB’s information lifecycle management policy and is held, retained and destroyed in line with the Records Management Code of Practice for Health and Social Care (see link under further information below).
These are commitments set out in the NHS Constitution.
