1st June, 2026.
Right, then: it’s Monday morning.
And, as ever?
I’m up, early: as I’m off to my weight management group.
I hope I’ve lost some.
But have to confess: I’ve had a few too many bags of crisps to be confident about that … !

I had the radio on, earlier.
Or, at least, had Radio Four’s Today programme on, earlier.
Seemingly?
Tech firm, Palantír, has been contracted to organise a unified database that will be used by the NHS, GP surgeries and social care department: in order to simplify access to patient data, and to make it easier for staff in Hospital A, Surgery B and Social Care Dept. C, to access the same details about a given patient.
I like the idea: although I’m as aware as anyone else, that’s setting the thing up is going to be a huge job.
However, Palantír, the contractors, are an American company.
Using the services they’ve already developed would makes things quicker and easier.
But … ?
I have to wonder if there’s a British company that could have been hired.
Digital sovereignty, an’ all that!
