How is ‘ removal’ defined?
In my thinking, it means the right to have data labelled such that is NOT used 
in the provision of healthcare.

Copies made in the past, can not easily be removed, all the times.
Data shared with third parties can not easily be removed.
Data that is acted upon, can not easily be removed. 
Data that is re-used for administrative purposes or legal reporting can not 
easily be removed. Think of use of data in legal proceedings, used for 
administrative purposes, data logged in the log-file.

The law and its regulations (based on EU law) can write what they like.
Reality, technology, choices made in the past, will never change in the sense 
that all data can physically be removed.
At best it is removed logically and locally, meaning it is not allowed to play 
a role in the provision of healthcare in the future.
That is and stays my opinion.
