MR Parry-Hearn's letter to the Review fails to mention that the data released under the proposed NHS scheme will have personal identification details removed. This is made quite clear in the leaflet sent out to the public.

Mr Parry-Hearn fails to mention that the purpose of releasing the data is to enable the quality of the NHS procedures to be improved through the analysis of the outcomes of various treatments.

As someone who has suffered for months from the prescription of inappropriate drugs, this is close to my heart.

We are fed up with politicians manipulating or being economical with the truth for their own gain.

We want politicians of integrity who tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, however inconvenient it is to them personally.

Your readers will judge whether or not Mr Parry-Hearn has lived up to the standards we need from those in Parliament.
