across the nhs, and it's why my approach... as we've onlyjust, last week, for example, from nhs digital, started getting some data about what is happening practice by practice. so, that raises a few things, not least about, i wonder what she did, did she stub her toe? did she not want to declare it? let's not dwell on the health secretary's actual health. but it does raise this issue of kind of access to things and how long you've got to wait, and the thing that was announced today is this new sort of not a target, but... expectation, i think was the word. that you will be seen by your gp within two weeks! i mean, i'm old enough to remember when it was two days, it was 48 hours. natasha, what's going on, is that a target, is that an aspiration? of course it's. .. it is an aspiration. and it's one of these meaningless things that politicians say to sort of sound good. one of the things that did occur to me, though, about the sort of plan is to have a sort of league table, of, like, which doctors' surgeries are the worst. you'll be able to see how long the queues are in your local... exactly. can you switch, if the capacity is there? isn't that the problem? well, you could... say, your local surgery was just really rubbish, and all the other surgeries locally were much better, you might choose,

with cardiovascular disease, with cancer, with diabetes and so much else, which are also, if you like, of pandemic proportions? but privacy campaigners have concerns about the use of information. the way in which data is currently used when it is taken up to nhs digital is that it is passed copies of patients�* data, is passed to third parties, including commercial entities — some of which have sublicensing agreements — and there is essentially a trade in patients�* data. much of that — much of the uses, many of the uses — are for entirely admirable uses, but some of them give, we know, a large number of people concerns. data is not anonymous. it is pseudonymised. that pseudonym is what allows it to be linked across an individual person�*s
