The conundrum I have is knowing this has been done.
I wrote a letter with all of this, took it to the GP surgery. The receptionist was bemused. There has been no acknowledgement. Can I tell if I've been opted out, without hassling the already-overworked reception staff?

If you prefer, you can just write a letter to your surgery:
- State that you wish to opt-out of care.data
- Request that both the 9Nu0 and 9Nu4 codes are added to your GP records
- Remember to include full names and DOBs (and your address if you are happy to)

Try talking to your practice manager - mine is very helpful and (s)he'll hopefully be much more clued up about this than the reception staff.
Write a letter and address it to the practice manager or the caldicott guardian. Ask for a response within 28 days to tell you what is happening.
Not only that, how do you know those codes are meaningful?
