@catherine_91 @jamesmurray_ldn @NHSEngland @catherine_91 - you are so strong. Throughout my time in the health data space I have seen the absolute resilience and heroic strength of patients juxtaposed against fracture, malfunction and absolute nonsense of hospital IT and blurred by fragmented data flows. Who allows this?
