@AngleseyStick @DarkOptimism @goodlawproject yes, I'm pretty sure this is NHS England only.

It's still absolutely crazy though. And it's possible that it might include some data on Welsh patients who have been treated in England because of cross-border arrangements.

All supposedly anonymised, but put together a few medical conditions plus AI, join to one or two other databases (such as data harvested from social media) and deanonymising becomes fairly easy.

@foobarsoft @fesshole the most effective way for people to learn is to be led to the answer so they work it out for themselves, not to be given the answer straight. I say, as a former lecturer.

If people want to discuss afterwards, because it started them thinking, then they can get given the answer.

After all, isn't this what parables were about?

@drdave89 @fesshole I found myself a little bit uncomfortably in an Anglican church in mid Wales simply because just about all the chapels around me have closed. And we have a retired vicar who is so traditional it's out of my comfort zone. Nonetheless he's absolutely prepared to call out the fascists, and does so; and for that I admire him very much.
