Three Things I Wish I'd Known About NHS Technology

It has been a year since I stopped working for NHSX. A few weeks ago, someone reached out to me inquiring about a job there. They wanted to know what they needed to know before joining. As well as the normal moaning about the quality of vending machine coffee, I told them about three things which caught me off-guard when I joined.

So,

Weeknotes: Vaccinated – Part 1

I know exactly what I was doing on 9th April 2020. I was worrying about open-sourcing the NHS Covid Tracing app. I was worrying about tech standards for booking test slots. I was worrying if I'd ever see my family and friends again. I was worrying if the NHS websites would contain enough semantic HTML to be useful. I was worrying if the security of 3r

Today we have made a formal legal request for the #NHSX app’s privacy assessment, which is still incomplete, despite moving to testing.

If the safeguards for the #TrackingApp are insufficient we will consider legal action.

@penguin42 having read their paper I can see a valid argument for doing the risk modelling centrally. However there is certainly a level of trust required to how #nhsx handles the data on their servers. I think ultimately the biggest concern for most will be if their phones don't last the day with the battery drain. AFAIU Google/Apple won't allow you to use their low power API if data is being uploaded to the cloud.

This sounds much more inocuous than it is.

Ravi Naik’s opinion explains that many Government uses of data, including the #NHSX App, may be unlawful.

Transparency is required to show why they are not.

Yet the App this week is in public beta. #covid19uk

This is the core of it:
“a centralised system would result in a significantly greater interference with users’ privacy and require greater justification.”

So, justify it first.

Doesn't everyone have unlimited data?
