I received a leaflet about 2-3 weeks ago. It claims your details will be passed on anonymously, I presume for epidemiological studies although this is not spelt out. Anonymously! - if you swallow that as the complete solution you'll believe anything.
There is no form or 'phone number to opt out. It just refers you to your surgery for that part. Don't waste your own or the receptionists time by phoning as I did. She will jst tell you to visit the sugery.
There is a 'phone number but only to tell you about it (in my eyes that means sell you the idea). There is also a web-site but again just an explanatory site - that then gives them your e-mail address I presume. I used neither phone nor web-site - just read it, phoned surgery and dumped it.
You have learnt everything you need to know from this messy idea on this thread than you will from the slim glossy-coloured piece of paper.
So visit your surgery if you are a "no".
Judging from the confusion here at the "launch" stage imagine how efficient the "implementation" wil be.
If this style of approach were used by scam artists the leaflet would have gone straight to the paper recycle. Actually scam artists could have done a much better job.
Oh! They did not even offer a ball-point pen for enquiring :).
