The S

Stands for service. As in, we - the data subjects - are to be served by it.....

The only ones set to benefit from this are companies who will get to charge an alarming amount of money, probably twice, for a system that does nothing to improve care (can we please focus on these possible benefits a bit more?) and the individuals who are in charge of taxpayer money, getting a nice bonus and fucking off to the next shipwreck.

Why not start with a subset of data (CEO's and politicians? Not that they use the NHS) and put in acceptance criteria such that if no tangible benefits magically materialise, we can tell 'big tech' to go sell their bridges elsewhere!
