Health trusts swapped patient data for shares in an AI firm. They may have lost millions

A cynical person...

...might be inclined to think that this was just a bullshit ruse for the gullible in order to carry out a mass data grab.

A much more pertinent question than asking about the fantasy money is what sort of protections are in place regarding the data handed over (and no doubt without any patient consent), especially given that - since GOSH is implicated - this is likely to involve medical data of children.

It's high time that it is written in law that NO medical data can be handed to any third party without the express permission (accompanied by a signature) of either the patient or their legal guardian, and that which is given is subject to a no-further-passing rule, with heavy penalties for non compliance.

Enough of this shit.
