@frankwoodunite @BenClover It should be inclusive, but I'm guessing not always easy & part of what to think about when working with suppliers.

[Nicholas Carding @ncarding]

One of which was South East London....

@jtalora In January @ncarding reported less than half of ICBs had a plan to deal with a cyber attack https://t.co/UDG3E7d1ix

[Nicholas Carding @ncarding]

Blood transfusions and other key patient services at several London hospitals have been impacted by a cyber attack on a pathology provider.

@GSTTnhs CEO Ian Abbs has told staff it's a "major IT incident".

Scoop from @BenClover.

General election to be held one day before the NHS turns 76.

Time for health service chiefs to come up with some birthday present ideas...

🚨 BREAKING: Rishi Sunak is calling a summer general election on 4 July this afternoon

[Nicholas Carding @ncarding]

CIO of a hospital told her board she'd written to @NHSEngland about funding for a new EPR...

..only for the trust to then deny this happened despite it being said at a meeting in public.

Bizarre from @UHNM_NHS.

Anyone else aware of this "guidance"?

This week - tough times for Manchester ICS as they try and recover from a major financial meltdown without a substantive CFO and a leaked report on the shortage of nurses with digital skills w/ @LawrenceDunhill and @ncarding

Shocking figure from today's Public Accounts Committee report - the health department spent £1.1bn on maternity clinical negligence claims, equivalent to a third of the total maternity services budget

Matt Hancock in 2019: "Building will begin on six new hospitals immediately and finish by 2024-25, as reported in Sunday Times": https://t.co/w08n71eAMb

2 of the 6 hospitals this month: "Building has not yet started and we now expect opening around 2031-32".

[zoetidman @zoetidman]

@journo_kituno ... another 'new hospital' says 2030 date no longer realistic

this is the first time i've seen hospitals openly admit this, and twice in space of a week

not a good sign for gov '40 by 2030' manifesto pledge

[Gary McAllister @GaryMcAllister]

Everytime I hear that organisations are using RPA my stomach turns. RPA is high risk, low reward long-term and should only be used for exceptional circumstances. You should work with vendors to create pure automation through APIs. Building an op model around this is dangerous and builds long-term debt.

[Nicholas Carding @ncarding]

Cornwall's health chiefs at @ciosicb warn the ICS could be relegated into the bottom tier of the NHS oversight framework amid problems with emergency and elective care performance.

That would mean more national scrutiny & less control locally over budgets and decisions.

[Nicholas Carding @ncarding]

@GaryMcAllister @NHSEngland @IHEUK Hi Gary, can you provide any more details for those of us unable to be at the conference to hear what you're announcing?

[Nicholas Carding @ncarding]

The sad reality of a 30% cut in running costs - @ciosicb procures solicitors to help affected staff after launching a voluntary redundancy programme.

[Nicholas Carding @ncarding]

If only someone had commissioned some work to look at how many regulators there are and whether the system should be simplified.....

.....oh wait.....

Four months after contract award, @NHSEngland has published an unredacted version of its contract with @PalantirTech.

@jtalora has been through it with a fine-tooth comb so you don't have to - and here is his summary:

https://t.co/KOLE8LzZwa

[Nicholas Carding @ncarding]

A dozen NHS trusts are changing their maternity EPR supplier, amid a national alert about risks with the system - reports @jtalora.

No reported harm to patients yet, but clearly hospitals are taking the issue seriously.

New: KPMG have been awarded an £8.5m contract by NHS England to "promote adoption" of the £330m federated data platform

Much-needed.

Digitising the Child Red Book (as announced by @wesstreeting) was government policy way back in 2014.

https://t.co/YBfHAvrEzC

Matt Hancock re-committed to it in the NHS Long Term Plan (2019), with a target of April 2023.

https://t.co/iF5lDIjXiy

Easier said than done.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

Wonderful visit to Kings Mill Hospital with @Keir_Starmer and @ClaireWard4EM - visiting their brilliant maternity team.

Patients and staff support @UKLabour’s plan to digitise the red book so that children get the healthiest start in life with modern care at parents’ fingertips.
