For anyone who may need to get their medical records from their GP,
From May 25th under the GDPR in most cases you should be able to obtain your medical records free of charge,

See the box marked "Key Changes Under GDPR"

Will the reception staff still be free to reveal your private information to all the people behind you in the queue.

No
but if you can prove they did the new Data Protection Laws being brought in due to the leaks of data by the information gathering machines like faecesbook will have stronger penalties...for the small guy anyway.

Our data is already shared by the NHS with 'interested' parties, does this mean they are required to contact us to approve continued sharing of our data?
