The NHS Federated Data Platform: advice on public and professional trust www.gov.uk/government/p...

Letter to UK Government from the outgoing National Data Guardian, Dr Nicola Byrne – with rather a strong whiff of I-told-you-so

#NHSdata #patientdata #publicprocurement #techpolicy #Palantir

My advice as National Data Guardian:

• Public and professional trust should be given substantial weight when evaluating any supplier of a system involving people’s health and care data. Commercial strength and technical capability must not outweigh whether the public, professionals and end-user organisations trust the arrangements. Without sufficient trust, the system is unlikely to be adopted widely enough to fulfil its potential to improve health and care.
• Decisions about the future of the FDP should be supported by clear, objective evidence of the platform’s benefits and limitations, communicated transparently. NHS England’s integration into the Department of Health and Social Care presents an opportunity to strengthen the culture around, and approach to, ongoing evaluation and transparency. Technical challenge, dissenting voices and local concerns should be engaged with constructively in shaping direction and delivery, helping to strengthen the programme and support its long-term success.
• Concerns about interoperability, vendor lock-in and data sovereignty must be addressed. This should include consideration of open standards and open-source technology, consistent with wider government digital policy.

Whatever decision is taken about the current supplier, the FDP programme must command sufficient public and professional trust. This is important not only to the future of the FDP, but to wider trust in how the NHS uses people's data.

Preparing a bid for a major public project takes companies, architects and engineers countless hours of analysis, planning and design.
If the project was never legally feasible, who should bear those costs? 🤔
