Ministers promised you’d control your data.

NHS England is in denial. Story after story after story of NHS staff creeping on patients and victims, the Chief Exec of NHS England has decided the problem is only in hospitals and national systems have no ability or responsibility on access

It is as if Sir Jim Mackey and his staff, the Secretary of State and the DHSC policy leadership, have looked at the series of abuses, and said the problem is not the coverup but the response to the failed coverup – make the response better but cover up the abuses better too. But there’s a slide so NHSE can claim they did something:

It was only because evidence of the creeping got into the hands of the patient victims that the accesses were shown to be illegitimate. And illegal. And NHS England have decided that patients should remain in the dark when NHS England runs the systems facilitating abuse – NHS England claim their Federated Data Platform can show a patient who has gone creeping, and they refuse to show patients. Maybe that culture of coverup that’s why NHS England is being abolished, but it’s not like abolition is going to help.
