The Milton Keynes Pathology department recently upgraded their IT system. While this was carefully tested, some technical problems have been identified that may mean duplication of results reaching your GP. We are working closely with your GP practice to fix these as soon as possible.
Urgent test results will continue to be sent to your GP promptly, as usual.

Update on Risk Stratification for Integrated Care Boards (ICBs)

In July 2022, when clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) were replaced with integrated care boards (ICBs) under the Health and Care Act 2022, Confidentiality Advisory Group (CAG) made an amendment to allow the continued processing of patient confidential data in line with the new Act by the ICB and data processors acting on behalf of GPs.
NHS England encourages ICBs and GPs to use risk stratification tools as part of their local strategies for supporting patients with long-term conditions and to help and prevent avoidable admissions. As responsible data controllers, Integrated Care Boards are required to undertake a review of their processing activities, update their own privacy notices in order to ensure transparency and transfer of data controller responsibilities.
In September 2023, CAG approved the BLMK ICB application, to continue risk stratification. As part of our application we are required to communicate to patients to advise them how their data is used and provide a way for patients to opt out.
Practices should continue working in the same way that they have always done for risk stratification and applying the code to patient records if they wish to opt out.
We have created a pack of information for patients, see attachments, we would appreciate your support with making the information available to patients. The information pack includes; a digital poster, an information leaflet to be shared online and website copy.
