First, and possibly most significantly, is @NHSEngland officials' confirmation that its '#FederatedDataPlatform' will incorporate patients across England's #SharedCareRecords:
Why is this so important? Because #SharedCareRecords - which every new #ICS* is supposed to have - include your #GPdata, which @NHSEngland has been trying to get hold of for years (most recently last summer)...

First, beginning on page 158, are some Directions that @NHSEngland must know will be HIGHLY controversial - given they are telling @NHSDigital to use @PalantirTech's #Foundry to collect *patient level identifiable data* from hospitals...
I'll tweet as I do a read-through, but even these first two paragraphs are incoherent, e.g. "...in a way that will enable." Enable what?
And if @NHSEngland Directs NHSD to use #Palantir, NHSE is *determining the purposes and means of processing* - i.e. it is a #DataController...

1) @OUHospitals (Oxford University Hospitals) took £5 million in @SensyneHealth shares for its patients' data in July 2017:

2) @nhsswft (South Warwickshire Foundation Trust) received £5 million in @SensyneHealth shares, in a deal cut in 2018:
sensynehealth.com/newsroom/sensy…
The Trust HAS NOT said how much value it lost; it HAS copied #identifiable* patient data; and it HAS NOT terminated its contract...

The Trust HAS NOT said how much value it lost; it HAS copied #identifiable* patient data; and it HAS NOT terminated its contract...

Bad enough that @SensyneHealth has cost NHS Trusts nearly £15 million - Lord Drayson's claim to be 'giving something back to the NHS' lies in tatters - but what people should *really* be asking about is the MILLIONS of #patients' data the company claims to be processing...
...because, as our letter to the Trusts in April pointed out, at least some of their patients' data that they handed over is #linkable #pseudonymised data - i.e. it is #identifiable, thus #PersonalData in UK law:
medconfidential.org/wp-content/upl…
medconfidential.org/wp-content/upl…
So while @SensyneHealth's #shareholders might want to check the company's claims about the #amount of NHS patients' data it actually has, those Trusts that HAVE passed #identifiable data to #Sensyne should terminate their agreements asap - and demand certified #deletion, too...
Finally, the #GoldacreReview is published! (During Parliamentary Easter holidays, mid-ping-pong on the #HealthAndCareBill...)

First point to note, in the Terms of Reference (p5), is that this is about "access to #NHSdata by #researchers, #commissioners, and #innovators" - i.e. #Planning and #CommercialReUse - so it is directly relevant to the operation of millions of people's #NationalDataOptOuts...

The #PersonalDataProtection Bill (2019) was re-inspected by a Joint Parliamentary Committee, which tabled its report in Dec '21. Though the JPC recommended changes in their draft Data Protection Bill, those regarding non-consensual data processing are the most concerning🧵
Within the provisions of the draft #DataProtectionBill, your data could be used, without your consent. In fact, the government could continue using personal and non-personal data that they know to be incorrect. How did we get here?

We're clearly going to be hearing a lot about #LegitimateInterests, as well as #commercial and #public ones. The real question being, how do this Government's interests actually align with YOURS?

140+ pages on a Friday is a lot to digest, but @lilianedwards' "penumbra of often futile determinedly populist ideas largely not evidence-based" seems entirely consistent with @DCMS's Drunkard's Walk through #data and #ID this past year...

The #CCP's newest five-year plan covering the period until the end of 2025 named “genetic and biotechnology research” as a key area essential to “national security and overall development.”
Americans’ DNA information is particularly valuable to #China due to the ethnic diversity of the US population.
This is because varied data sets are more useful in research to identify genetic diseases.

...which literally put in writing that companies ARE getting access to "#Sensitive #PersonalData". See, e.g. p48 of the @faculty_ai contract: cdn-prod.opendemocracy.net/media/document… - and just think for a moment how programmes like, e.g. #TestandTrace could work *without* identifiable data.
3) If (1)'s too abstract, maybe try the worked examples under "Misunderstanding the 'birthday attack'" in this piece we wrote in 2015:
