I am following the situation and am happy to hear that, but I am cynical about the ability of the EU or any national or supernational power to control tech companies that choose to use data in ways I would not particularly like.

In his opening statement, Mr. Woods mentioned rolling out the IHI to the National Treatment Purchase Fund, disability networks, etc. Could we have information on this? Perhaps it could be in a note, as I realise I am running out of time. The National Treatment Purchase Fund interacts with authorities and regions that are outside our jurisdiction. What are the data impacts of that? How would the control of people’s IHIs and PPSNs work?
