"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.
The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.
“The NHS knows all of it, it recorded all of it, including all of the details that the patient wishes no one read about every time they walked in the door.
Giving all the information to everyone is no better than giving it to no one.”

@KimJohnsonMP Keep going Kim
Single Patient Record will allow more data access. Is all that data necessary, who should have access, how much & in what circumstances?
More detailed Summary Care Records would be better
NEW: Lindsay Hoyle has intervened to block the release of emails he sent to Israeli politicians
🗣️ 'The Speaker of the House of Commons ... has formed the reasonable opinion that disclosure of the information would be likely to prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs'
The fact @LindsayHoyle_MP was emailing Israeli politicians is bad enough but to use the powers of the @CommonsSpeaker to block publication of these communications is an affront to democracy. They need to be published and he needs to be removed from office.
Horrifying testimony of Australian woman raped by the IOF:
'They wrenched my trousers and underwear down and it felt like I was inserted with a hand..it wasn't a gun...other people had guns inserted inside them.'

am going to write about this, but in meantime: here's a v good graphic from @CR_UK on the portion of benefits/risks of PSA screening https://t.co/K5ezqDrApE.... overdiagnosis is a weird thing and counterintuative -
@David_Cameron Prostate cancer specialist here. I fully support decision of screening committee.
You clearly don’t understand the concepts of Lead Time Bias and Length Time Bias, which are particularly relevant in a disease where even a “cancer” diagnosis can be argued eg GG1 disease
@mgtmccartney@DrJoFranklin Absolutely agree! Try to tell that to a politician or a senior NHSE manager. They just don’t understand. Or wilfully ignore. Fragmentation, hand offs, increasing risk, lower satisfaction…this is the NOW. On a positive at least Wes has cleared off for now.
We need an end to tinkering around the edges. The public have had enough of this rip off.
Andy Burnham must commit to taking water back into public ownership.
A record drop in waiting lists is being sold as success, but much of it comes from patients being removed, not treated.
A&E is still in crisis with corridor care and long delays, while persistent staffing shortages continue to strain the system.
That is not fixing the NHS.
