On this I can agree with @Dominic2306, and go further.
#SW1 #IT and #IG has been in a parlous state for well over a DECADE, and more.

...how many population-sized datasets were floating around, much less who had them!

You can take a look at the current 139 line spreadsheet here:

Risible, eh? And this is the best that #CabinetOffice has been able to do after OVER FOUR YEARS!

Fast forward again, to the #pandemic, and to @Dominic2306's "no10 cloud system"...
...which, unless he's got something else hidden up his sleeve, is most likely to be @PalantirTech #Foundry - on @AWS, hence "cloud".

Bizarrely, @cabinetofficeuk denied all knowledge of "Dominic Cummings’ NASA-style Whitehall #CommandCentre" when I asked, though it was based in its own building:
whatdotheyknow.com/request/missio…
and #PrimeMinistersOffice / @10DowningStreet never even replied:
whatdotheyknow.com/request/missio…

And the bit about "self-reported covid symptoms" in this tweet is very odd:
Firstly, because that's not "polling data".
Secondly, 'cos it sounds most like @NHSX's #ProjectOasis - which took self-reported symptoms from commercial apps like @Join_ZOE...

...and fed them to #MoD's #jHub, as evidenced in this and the embedded [Thread]:
...and then onto destinations unknown.
Clearly NOT just "the NHS", if @Dominic2306 is talking about the same self-reported symptom data. (We suspect it also goes to #JBC.)

So if @10DowningStreet has created a 'modern' "cloud system", and @cabinetofficeuk a 'Brexit control centre' (cf. whatdotheyknow.com/request/contra… - now sharing data across SW1 with zero #transparency), and @NHSX its #DataStore (cf.
then why in the bloody blue...

then why in the bloody blue...
...blazes are they not publishing any/all of the #DataSharingRegisters that any such 'modern', competently #procured and #managed IT systems MUST LEGALLY BE ABLE TO DELIVER?
It's not like we haven't been asking for them.
For well over a year now.
With no meaningful response...

So, while I began this [Thread] by agreeing with @Dominic2306 that #SW1 #IT is/was shit, I'm afraid I can't agree with him that the current state of affairs is really much better.
Because population-scale #IT without proper #IG & #transparency is a #lawless, #untrustworthy mess.
