re: data anonymised - not really, since it really depends on what other databases exist now and in the future that could be used to cross reference the data. eg using the data from Tesco club card dataset(which has your name etc) with a machine Learning algorithm - I suspect the data would be able over a period time, able to identify a lot people. This will only get more detailed with time as more information eg facebook? your browsing habits which are also collected by ISPs and given to many many agencies etc.. etc...
and also allowing US multinational's to analysing the data to then start the bidding process for select GPs. has the UK government ruled NHS from the treaties with the US? no! what better way would there be for them to understand the UK healthcare market
