It's possible that someone has raised a GDPR-related flag legitimately on the current database which may require the re-confirmation of personal sensitive information from those who registered when many of the controls were lifted on a temporary basis.

If that is the case, it should be relatively simple to re-establish the database on a legal footing and allow it to continue and improve into the future.

That said, the bland, civil-service-like, safety-first statement from the NHS gives no indication or rationale whatsoever and just adds to the concern raised by Kate Bingham (and everyone else).

Since it is not meeting its purpose - stated clearly as:

"funding, enabling and delivering health and social care research"

Perhaps it can be added to the list of quangos to be scrapped - of which there are many that need to go urgently - if nothing else simply to save money...

The JFDI attitude is much needed in the NHS (and education) and many more organisations. The power of the people is being wasted by the woke brigade and those with vested interests.
