## Patient dissent to share flag ##

When Foundations APIs are used to support the Appointment Management capability, the above flag SHALL NOT be applied by provider systems.

## PDS S-flagged patients ##

If, in response to the Find or Read a Patient API, the provider system determines that a patient has a PDS 'S-Flag', then the patient's location and contact details are to be replaced by those of the target GP practice.

When these APIs are used as part of the Appointment Management Capability, then the Provider system SHALL NOT process requests for Patients it recognises as being S-flagged.
