But what are they, in reality?

Well, for starters, we know quite a bit about @NHSEngland& #39;s & #39;dashboard(s)& #39;: back in March, @MattHancock gave it powers to DEMAND confidential patient information from care providers*, for (broadly defined) " #COVID19 purposes"...

...and we know @NHSEngland& #39;s hoovering up *at least* 70 different datasets into its #DataStore (the list at https://data.england.nhs.uk/covid-19/ ">https://data.england.nhs.uk/covid-19/... is no longer comprehensive due to the controversial contents of some of the datasets).

... @NHSEngland is using @Microsoft @Azure to process all the patient data it holds, which it #pseudonymises (i.e. replaces obvious #identifiers with a pseudonym; what in law and in practice is still #identifiable #PersonalData) before @PalantirTech sucks copies across into its...
... #Foundry & #39;data integration platform& #39;, which runs on @awscloud.
Everyone& #39;s a bit vague about what happens next, but we do know that it& #39;s not just @PalantirTech but Dom Cummings& #39; favourite firm, @faculty_ai, plus @Deloitte & @McKinsey
