UK Biobank DataContribution
In summary, and to be clear to the House and to those people affected, the charity has assured us that the data did not contain anybody’s name, address or contact details. It includes only data of people who have explicitly opted in to be part of the Biobank. Those are people who have given their explicit consent that this data can be used, in the knowledge that it will be shared with researchers globally.
