If you want to understand this, read the @ukfci Faculty Of Clinical Informatics position paper on the Federated Data Platform - the FCI are acknowledged experts in healthcare data. The position paper is balanced, but isn't a ringing endorsement of FDP....

I’ve seen this a few times. While I agree aspirations and resilience are important for everyone (& living in poverty for decades literally alters brain function)… there’s no way to solve mass poverty without addressing the root problems of our economic policies that create them.

MI6 boss warns of data traps. I wonder if his advice applies also to NHS data that our political masters seem keen to sell.
