> So far, I have yet to see any argument from any medical professional that the proposed centralisation of fully detailed individual patient records is reasonable or necessary for the proper commissioning of personal healthcare within the NHS system. The health service itself is arguing for it. > it is already possible for research groups to contact patients with certain conditions indirectly As the health service describes, an issue with this is that asking people to opt-in creates health planning assumptions that are biased, harming some groups. |

Branding aside, there is no single health service in England. The NHS is made up of many organisations and they cooperate to provide each individual's healthcare. To be clear, it is NHS England and the DHSC who are apparently pushing for this, and neither of those organisations has a direct clinical role.
