NHS England published heavily redacted Palantir contract as festivities began. By redacted, they mean that they will not reveal how data will be used and how it will be shared overseas (England is bad enough). By publishing it over the holiday season they are hoping people don't notice and ask questions. With a supine parliament they might get away with it.
A few comments (I could not put them better myself)
“"lessons have been learned from previous data programmes including the need for a) transparency and b) data to be held in secure environments with the correct checks and balances in place. But we are not telling you what the lessons learned were, or how we are going to protect the data - we are being totally un-transparent about this.” #NHS#Privacy#ForSale#Corrupt#ScottishIndependence
"The platform will use only existing data legally collected by the NHS to support direct patient care, which is lawful under all relevant data protection regulations"
While it might be lawful to centralise patient care records, it's also now lawful to declare an unsafe country safe for deportees. Creating a law that allows you to act abusively does not make it right to do so.
