HT @LisaMWatki for prompting this [Thread] 👇 on the #OurFutureHealth letter/leaflet some of you may be receiving, which appears to omit a few important details... 
Those of you with long memories may remember @MattHancock's "5 Million Genomes" announcement back in 2018:

So now you know who (one of) the "other partners" is...

...and of course it will come as no surprise that the prime mover of @ukfuturehealth (on the radio just last week) is none other than the author of the Government's #LifeSciences #IndustrialStrategy*:

Prompted by @LynnFOI, a [Thread] on the #NHSTrusts that cut #commercial deals to #copy their patients' data* to (formerly) Lord Drayson's now-delisted "AI" company, @SensyneHealth
First up, it's...

*More info on the nature of the data they sold here:
1) @OUHospitals (Oxford University Hospitals) took £5 million in @SensyneHealth shares for its patients' data in July 2017:

Back to work for a crucial year for UK Science, Research & Innovation & my core Missions:
🌏 ScienceSuperpower🧑🏽🔬
💥Innovation Nation👷🏼
Here are some of the Priorities in the NewYear in-tray:
1. Horizon: continue to push for UK association, alongside a bold GlobalBritain PlanB

3. Oversee establishment of the new UK Advanced Research & Innovation Agency (ARIA) as the UK’s “Science Satellite” to ensure the UK stays on the frontline of exploring new ways of doing new science:
The @IEA indicate that 75% of emissions reductions required by 2070 can be delivered by tech that ALREADY exists 💡

Studies indicate energy technologies take 20-68 years to move from 1st prototype to 1% of a national market ⏰
Accelerating this process requires the emergence of:

⚖️regulatory frameworks
🤝firm engagement &
🙋♀️societal support
..to drive market creation

As energy represents a complex legacy sector, this process will be slowed and shaped by inertia contained within existing systems, as new technologies increasingly drive disruption 🎆
Accelerating innovation therefore depends on funding and policies put in place TODAY✅

On #Transport: The target for phasing our conventionally fuelled vehicles is inadequate. The @transportgovuk ‘Road to Zero’ (‘ICE ban 2040’) may neither hit the target nor make the early gains needed for a 1.5°C trajectory. @_chris_brand_ @jillian_anable
On #electricity: policy should build on Electricity Market Reform that has worked well & adapt in the light of technology/cost changes. Change in ‘black start’ incentives & other ancillary services are needed to ensure the system remains resilient @energyukcomms @ngcontrolroom
