We also talk about the full timetable for merging NHSE and the Department of Health and Social Care, as well as one of the biggest stories of the week: the unexpected resignation of Ming Tang, NHSE’s chief data and analytics officer. 

We discuss her legacy, most notably the federated data platform, and why some of the biggest trusts are yet to start using it. 

With Annabelle Collins, Mimi Launder and Joe Talora.
