“The COVID pandemic has taught us that you can’t just sit on your hands when you’ve got no evidence. You still have to make decisions. You still have to act,” says Professor John Powell, Professor of Digital Health Care, Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. “There is this argument, do we save public health or do we save the economy, but actually it’s a compromise between the two. If you get the public health right, you support the economy.”

Health secretary Matt Hancock today (11 Feb) set out plans to reform the NHS and deliver a more joined up health and care system.
A government white paper outlines proposals to make integrated care systems (ICSs) the default across England, reduce legal bureaucracy, and better support social care, public health and the NHS.
The proposals include the development of a data strategy for health and social care, which aims to “bust bureaucracy” by improving the way data is collected and shared.
Under the reforms, the health and care sector will be enabled to “use technology in a modern way” by improving the quality and availability of data, the paper states.
The review will focus on the more efficient and safe use of health data for research and analysis for the benefit of patients and the healthcare sector.
