In Europe Google is offering large sums for clinical data that is stored within the records of their Electronic Medical Records. If you start selling data, capital will lead to a consolidation of data. Creating Information asymmetries in healthcare might be the stupidest thing the NHS can do, our future generations will be fighting the monopolies that could have been voided if we treat data and its derivates as a common good.

It's not stupid. They know what they're doing. Any more than driving all the nurses to quit is stupid.
