Loads of exciting things in the King's Speech today, but this one particularly caught my eye. Hopefully it will mean an end to the lack of parity of esteem and funding we've seen lately. (On the digital front, only funding acute EPRs to use the NHS app is a stark example)

Congratulations to Gary O’Hare, who has been recognised in the King’s birthday honours list with an MBE for services to mental health and disabilities in the NHS 👏 Gary was CNTW’s Executive Director of Nursing and Operations for many years, until retiring last year.

If this is true it's unbelievable, being handed a contract for cyber security whilst withholding details of being hacked. Hope the @ICOnews take this into account. When are we going to stop handing gov contracts to dishonest firms? https://t.co/QtkUqSuD9Q

The more we digitise the more we need to invest in cyber security. It's not an optional extra or a nice to have. https://t.co/7HBPy43evO

Just read through the NHSE 24/25 priorities and operational planning guidance. Some good digital/data stuff in there but feels like a lot of planning this fin year but no new funding until 25/26... https://t.co/aw32kgsFw2

Great to see mainstream media covering this. This isn't just about our bubble in #DigitalHealth, this is about the values we expect of ourselves and others so we create digital products, platform and services created with a diverse society in mind https://t.co/TQreeCFV2j
