Neighbour unhappy about HV

I received a telephone call from a HV just before Xmas to advise me that she would be visiting my neighbour at XX date and if she could visit me after.

I have had a very bad experience with the whole HV service in general and have made a complaint about a HV in the past.

Anyway despite me Opting Out this HV still emails, texts and calls every other month or so and she doesn't seem to leave me alone despite me telling her there are no concerns and I will take him to the GP as I always do.

Anyway I saw my neighbour yesterday and mentioned to it in passing that the HV had called me and wanted to visit me after she had been to hers and what was her experience with this HV as I found her quite harassing.

The neighbour got very upset and thought the HV had discussed things with me and said she has breached GRPR and advising people of her appointment, she was very upset with the HIV and wants me to make a complaint for us both.

I am not really sure if the HV had breached any GRPR?
I mean this HV is a real nuisance and is harassing but does it warrant a complaint?

HV/ health care professionals only get a snap shot of with one visit (s), where the parents will be on their best behaviour, tidy house etc, I remember following the case of Arthur Labinjo Hughes - the step mom had already had 2 children remove from her care and was well known to SS and already had 2 children as well as Arthur living with her and Arthur's dad.

They were known to social services and before the planned visits they would get loads of toys out, give Arthur food (was starved and made to sleep on the floor) had multiple bruises (as reported by his paternal grandmother) and still nothing was done.
A lot of the time these children are known to SS/police in the majority of these cases.

I have offered to take DC to the doctors many times to the HV and there have never been any concerns, I simply want to be left alone due to a very uncomfortable experience with the HV.
It's not as if I have never engaged with the service.

She has waited 6 months to do a home visit so they can't be that bothered.
