NHS to scrap single database of patients' medical details The Department of Health in England is scrapping its controversial data-sharing project - known as Care.data.
The programme, which was due to launch in 2014, faced widespread criticism - including fears the public had been left in the dark about it.
The announcement comes as Dame Fiona Caldicott and the Care Quality Commission published two reviews on data security in English healthcare.
Their reports put forward a series of proposals to safeguard data in the NHS. BBC News
