@LucyGoBag it continues to be a mess because NHSE refuses to require patients be told, refuses to tell them itself, so the secrecy infests everything. The letter blocks nothing and no one, and if there's an iota of a possible reason for access it always considered legitimate.
There is a real danger that NHSE fumbling this messaging with no detailed guidance including worked through training material will cause further pain
Because in the next inquiry a judge will say that the response would have been different if everyone could have accessed the necessary data. Management of access to info at the right time is one of the most complex issues we have in emergency response right now
what3words has seen its revenue halve in the last year. It has gone from £2.1m in 2024 to £1.1m in 2025. At its height the company was valued in the hundreds of millions. I have always believed this company to be a stain on the UK tech ecosystem, and essentially a ponzi scheme defrauding investors. The senior leaders were paying themselves £300k and paying for extravagant work trips around the world. All the while the company never managed to bring in any meaningful revenue. Earlier this year it ran a secondary sale at a £50m valuation. In the crowdfund deck it did not disclose financials results ANY WHERE. It has literally burnt through hundreds of millions of dollars across over 10 years. Running a secondary sale while revenue was dropping without telling ANY investors is SHOCKING.
@PhilRodgers also weird that @public_i sell opacity as a service to their public sector clients... wonder if they charge more for deletion or for uploading to youtube...
@PhilRodgers Has someone already grabbed the ones that are up? Happy to do it in an ongoing basis… can give the YouTube channel a funny name…
£24,000 to replace free YouTube meeting videos The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority moved its meetings to a paid Public-i service under a direct award signed off by one officer. There was no Equality Impact Assessment, captions are switched off, recordings are kept for 12 months and transcripts are only available on request. CambsNews has the details. cambsnews.co.uk/news/cambridge…
Another day another DWP data issue: Lots of Mums being turned down for FSM even though they are on UC. Managed to fix more than 20 'parent not found' today by using their maiden name for the check rather than married name, even though their UC claim is in their married name. @ajjolley FYI
I have coined a new term: AI clog. Our systems - councils, planning depts, customer service centres, HR - are being ground to a halt by long, articulate, half-accurate AI generated content. Slop you can ignore. Clog you can’t. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
Great to do this for @TheEconomist with @alokjha & @RoryJGalloway. Right now. With the world getting more volatile, uncertain and complex, where you need to be is on the edge of chaos.
“We all have this fantasy that one day our lives will run in a steady way... But the truth is that there’s a little chaos in all of our lives,” @Kevin_Fong joins “Babbage” to explore the nature of chaos and crisis economist.com/podcasts/2026/…
It takes LONGER NOW than it did 60 YEARS AGO… Oxford United play Cambridge United today. 65 miles apart. Fans travelling by train face a journey of THREE HOURS. A direct line EXISTED until 1966. It took less than two hours. We’ve gone BACKWARDS. No more excuses. No more delays. BUILD East West Rail. 🚝
December 2024: The Oxford to Milton Keynes railway line is completed. September 2026: ZERO passengers. Freight trains use it daily. Winslow built a £5m station that has NEVER opened. The reason? A dispute over who opens the doors. SETTLE it. OPEN it.
seems like @UKSovereignAI wants to play with public funds in easy mode. It's fundamentally different for him to officially disclose where all of his investments are actually based, than for someone else to make guesses from hints some companies may make. x.com/Jameswise/stat…
While there’s no requirement to do so we are trying to be as transparent as possible, so in response to ( another! ) FOI @UKSovereignAI added my conflicts of interest process to the site today along with others, for those interested. I hoped we’d put this all up earlier - but
Take a moment to ponder how depraved this is.

Do you remember this story? As I reported - today is super stats Thursday for NHS and today, quietly, seven national audit reports into maternity, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, hip fracture and other areas have been published without any announcement or publicity.
🚨 EXC: NHS England has suppressed the work of investigators carrying out dozens of national clinical audits. NHSE has stopped investigators alerting media, watered down recommendations and limited the way their reports are written, published and used: thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…
Oh. My. God.
@robinhouston Just start a few promising pathways in codex, thank ChatGPT for a start and say you’ll finish it up in Claude who got further, and then start up the rumour mill?
