I propose that we send the particulars of the case that are subject to parliamentary question and further discussion to the DPC, which appeared before us recently, as a follow-up issue that has arisen. We will ask for the DPC’s opinion on it and a letter in reply. My opinion is that, if GP practices’ figures can be published, then others can be published. If it is intended to interpret GDPR so as to ensure that no payment to any individual can ever be published again, then it would be an abuse of the legislation.
