    Did you know there was an outfit called NHSX? I didn't but know that Hancock is very keen on tech, even having accepted multiple donations from Neil Record of the IEA.

    NHSX = What we do
    NHSX is leading the largest digital health and social care transformation programme in the world. With investment of more than £1 billion* a year nationally and a significant additional spend locally, NHSX has been created to give staff and citizens the technology they need.

    NHSX will deliver the Health Secretary’s Tech Vision, building on the NHS Long Term Plan. We will speed up the digital transformation of the NHS and social care. We have set ourselves five missions, which are focused on how we can make things better for patients and staff.
    * lots of lolly there to play with.

    'Who we are - We are a diverse team with a range of skills and expertise, including clinicians, technologists, policy experts, developers, data scientists and project managers.

    We report directly to the Secretary of State and the Chief Executive of NHS England and NHS Improvement. We are funded through existing budgets.'

    Guess who heads the list as CEO? Why. It's Matthew Gould, ex UK Ambassador to Israel 2005-2010 in Cameron's day.

    Coming to us soon. Some of Hancock's stuff I have read in the past - Remote monitoring of the 'elderly' in their own homes by video camera. Consultations with GPs and consultants by video or phone. No more surgery appointments. Selling of our personal medical data to the highest bidder.
