Your information, including your name, gender, date of birth and address, will be passed to NHS National Services Scotland where it will be held on the Community Health Index (CHI).

NHS National Services Scotland shares information about you within NHSScotland to assist in the provision and improvement of NHS services and the health of the public. When we do this, we do it as described by NHS Scotland in the NHS Inform website under the “How the NHS handles your personal health information” section.

NHS Scotland is made up of various organisations such as NHS Health Boards, GP practices, the Scottish Ambulance Service or NHS National Services Scotland (the common name of the Common Services Agency for the Scottish Health Service). These organisations are individually responsible for your personal health information. In terms of data protection and privacy laws, they are known as ‘data controllers’.
