The National Opt-out [2] does not prevent NHS digital from accumulating your records in a central database (in pseudonymous form - not anonymous). It only prevents them from sharing your record with others - for now...
The type 1 opt-out with your GP should prevent your records from even being sent to NHS Digital at all. The difficulty with this one is that it's a paper form only and has to be handed to the GP by the 23rd, there is no web service to opt out of this.
NHS Digital have also hinted that they will be trying to remove the type 1 at some point in the future.
