Hmm. Exactly what "data-sharing rules" were preventing the use of patients' data *for their direct care*?
Issuing #COPI Notices in a Level 4 emergency is not a generic 'fix', nor is it carte blanche for all #SecondaryUses - however much @NHSEngland & others might wish it were...
...and the #COVID19 data store, outside the pandemic, is essentially a #DiseaseRegistry NOT a licence or infrastructure for technocrats to surveille / micromanage / tell medical professionals how to run hospitals, as has been @NHSEngland's plan all along: data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…
Yes, the NHS has done some amazing things in the pandemic, but for those responsible for the most spectacular and egregious screw-ups of both tech and care to claim those successes and try using them to advance their own political agendas is as disgraceful as it is disingenuous.

Nah. This is another puff piece on the #WaitingList pilot, details of which @NHSEngland published - without daring to mention @PalantirTech - over ten months ago...
To be clear, 30 individual NHS Trusts* are using #Palantir#Foundry to manage elective care waiting lists, not patients' entire medical histories - largely by what Ministers have called "cleansing" the data:
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)...
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”…
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?
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...
