Matthew Swindells has been joint chair of four major hospital trusts in north-west London since April 2022 and has also since then acted as an adviser to Palantir through the now-defunct lobbying firm Global Counsel, which was co-founded by Lord Peter Mandelson.

The current National Data Opt-out, introduced in 2018, has been taken up by over three million people. However, exemptions granted for essential planning and operational work mean it no longer reflects what many believe it offers. This risks undermining trust. It also reflects a simple truth: the NHS cannot function in ways the public should be able to expect without reliable information. This information helps shape safe, effective, sustainable services and improves the care people receive. Being open about this reality, clear about the safeguards that protect people's data and ensuring these are strong and credible, remains vital if we are to maintain public confidence.

Use of dashboards In the consultation we proposed to publish a higher proportion of outputs in a dashboard or interactive tool format. The consultation response to this question was mixed, and our response was that we will consider moving to dashboards where: ● this is appropriate ● a dashboard would improve coherence in each area

A dashboard means we present our analysis of the data to you, rather than giving you the data so you can analyse it. Why wouldn't you prefer that, don't you trust us
