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?

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?
