A lot of UK NHS patient data is stored by GPs who are private sector contractors and do not use NHS systems.
I do not know the details - I have worked with medical systems handling NHS data a bit but not the details of what is stored where and how it is transferred between systems. I do recall some news stories about GPs not cooperating with the NHSs push to a centralised system because of privacy concerns - articles on The Register IIRC.
