So let’s talk about where things got up to with your #HealthData, before Rishi Sunak started talking about the need to generate trust in Government with “#integrity” and “#accountability”…

gov.uk/government/spe… I will unite our country, not with words, but with action.
Earlier today we got a bunch of detail out of @NHSDigital’s Board papers and services performance pack - what of that will continue post-#merger?



N.B. The chair of NHS Digital announced today’s meeting would be the last public meeting of the Board...
With the news that the Government is rushing through @NHSEngland’s takeover of the statutory safe haven (@NHSDigital) with about the level of planning that went into the 'fiscal event', where exactly *are* things as the former/new Sec State starts work?

I see #NHSEx has published the slides from its @HDR_UK “Data Access & Discovery” event, charmingly subtitled “A Forest Through the TREs” - on YouTube, if you want to listen:

*I thought the phrase was “cannot see the forest for the TREs”, but hey...
Let’s take a look:

One reason we use the category term #TRE to refer to Trusted Research (or any other use) Environments that meet the #FiveSafes is that everyone wants to call their own TRE something different, so no-one really knows what they mean...
Call yours what you like (e.g. for @ONS it's their Secure Research Service) but if it only does four #Safes, or three Safes - and if it isn’t also #consensual and fully #transparent - then it's not a #trustworthy TRE...

Finally, the #GoldacreReview is published! (During Parliamentary Easter holidays, mid-ping-pong on the #HealthAndCareBill...)

It's 221 pages - each PDF page is a double page spread - so this could be a lo-o-o-ong [Thread].

Here goes...
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... Terms of reference for the review  1. How do we facilitate a
"185 wide-ranging recommendations for us to explore", says @sajidjavid (p6). Gulp! Time for some coffee...

"systems that ensure #underrepresented groups are well represented" may (partly) refer to this "landmark review", which got off to a slow start:

Welcome back, George.

Now, about that "race-to-the-bottom" slashing of #data #protections...
...which, despite fine words about "maintaining high standards", is plainly the intent of @DCMS's proposed #DataProtection 'reforms':

assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…

...which include the intent to (re)define "#ScientificResearch" 🤔🤔🤔
Of course, we understand #TIGRR's "enthusiasm for #digital", its eye on the value of "highly #profitable consumer data", and frustration with the pesky #protections and #safeguards of #UKGDPR...

There seemed to be some confusion about (the use of) words in @CommonsHealth Committee yesterday morning, so here's a [Thread] to try to clarify.

First "#commercial". It is of course the case that many parts of the #NHS use commercial providers, e.g. of software, whether that...
...is @Microsoft365 for word processing, spreadsheets & e-mail; or IT systems to handle patients' records in hospitals (e.g. @CernerUK) & General Practice (e.g. @TPP_SystmOne, @EMISHealth, @CegedimHS); or software to drive complicated equipment like #MRIscanners, etc.

This is...
..entirely normal use of #commercial software & software services, for which the #NHS body is the #DataController. Apart from when that software goes wrong, I don't believe many would have concerns about this.

Then there are #commercial providers of #NHS services, about which...

The #GPDPR #GPdata upload will still be going ahead, but it will no longer be starting on 1 September 2021 - the programme will have to meet 3 (or 4) #tests first instead:

We'll let you do the diff between the "criteria" laid out in the announcement on @NHSDigital website and the "key areas of work" listed in the letter to GPs from @Jochurchill4 this afternoon:

Which will all make the oral evidence session in front of @CommonsHealth Committee tomorrow morning quite interesting...

Hi, @BHFDataScience! Please could you point me to a copy of your letter that is reported here:

theguardian.com/science/2021/j…

I've checked your website, but I can't seem to find a copy:

Ah, no worries - I see it now. You tweeted a link to it, and I see it is on @HDR_UK's website:

hdruk.ac.uk/news/nhs-digit…

On reading your letter, @medConfidential would heartily agree with paragraphs 1, 3 and 5...
On paragraph 3, we very much agree that #trustworthy use of patient data for #ethically-approved #research is good.

But not ALL intended uses of #GPDPR *are* trustworthy, as @NHSDigital's own data release registers confirm:

Está na pauta da sessão de amanhã do #Senado o projeto de lei #PL 5.029/2019, que altera a legislação #eleitoral. O PL gera retrocessos escandalosos nas leis eleitorais e estimula #corrupção, #lavagem de bens e outros #crimes com NOSSO dinheiro. Está aqui: is.gd/PL50292019
O #PL5029 altera a Lei dos #Partidos Políticos (Lei 9.096/1995). Um dos maiores problemas é a mudança dos arts. 30 e 31 da lei, para permitir que os partidos usem qualquer sistema de contabilidade do mercado para #prestaçãodecontas. Hoje precisam usar o sistema mantido pelo #TSE
Se cada #partido prestar contas em sistema próprio, será impossível à Justiça Eleitoral usar critérios homogêneos e cruzar informações. As #prestaçõesdecontas dos #partidos, que já não são controladas com eficiência, virarão de vez prestações de faz-de-contas
