Oh, that’s good news. I haven’t submitted my request to be excluded yet, is it still worth doing now or should I sit on it and see if it gets canned altogether?
I would do it now, I doubt it will get canned - it's in the really advanced stages and has a lot of insurance people drooling over the data they are gonna get.
Despite all the news we have only 6 people signed up to come to Tuesday's talk: http://manchester.openrightsgroup.org/2014/02/16/why-you-should-opt-out-of-m... (and two of those are me and my Joey!)
I may or may not be free that night, I suppose my question is that other than learning about care.data and ORG’s work will I be any more use after turning up?
I think we need to try and get a good show together to be honest, but other wise I guess it will just be an interesting evening and info about care.data. The speaker is one of the main opponents and really knows his shit.
