Also in Prince William's Cyberbullying Task Force is Baroness Harding of Winscombe, C.E.O., TalkTalk

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dido_Harding

She is chairwoman of NHS Improvement [3] and former chief executive of the TalkTalk Group.[4] She holds a board position at the Jockey Club[5] (which is responsible for several major events including the Cheltenham Festival), and from May 2020 is in charge of the UK's Test and Trace programme.

On 18 June 2020 it was announced by Matt Hancock that the UK government intends to switch from the centralised test and trace model to the decentralised approach pioneered by Apple and Google due to privacy concerns, among other things. Harding will decide on the suitability of the alternative model. She stated that 'What we've done in really rigorously testing both our own COVID-19 app and the Google-Apple version is demonstrate that none of them are working sufficiently well enough to be actually reliable to determine whether any of us should self-isolate for two weeks [and] that's true across the world'. The change was, however, widely interpreted in the press as an abandonment of the UK's app in favour of the Apple-Google one, and a U-turn by the government.[20][21] The BBC also reported that the "latest developments come a day after the BBC revealed that a former Apple executive, Simon Thompson, was taking charge of the late-running project as part of Baroness Harding's team.

Re Jockey Club: FEMA Tells States to Hand Public Health Data Over to Palantir

Former Cabinet minister Owen Paterson's wife Rose, 64, is found dead at their family home: Jockey Club board member had been embroiled in planning row alongside housing secretary Robert Jenrick

The racing executive wife of Tory MP Owen Paterson greeted neighbours and appeared in good health on her daily horse ride just hours before she was found dead in woodland close to their Shropshire mansion on her husband's 64th birthday, MailOnline can reveal. Mr Paterson, a former cabinet minister under David Cameron and Conservative MP for North Shropshire, said the loss of his wife, Rose, 63, had come as a 'terrible shock' to the family.

Palantir, the US big data firm founded by the rightwing billionaire Peter Thiel, is working with Faculty, a British artificial intelligence startup, to consolidate government databases and help ministers and officials respond to the pandemic...NHSX, the digital transformation arm of the National Health Service that has contracted the tech companies to help build the “Covid-19 datastore”, said the technology would give ministers and officials “real-time information about health services, showing where demand is rising and where critical equipment needs to be deployed”.

Healthcare firm advised by Owen Paterson won £133m coronavirus testing contract unopposed - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/11/healthcare-firm-advised-by-owen-paterson-won-133m-coronavirus-testing-contract-unopposed..

A healthcare firm which employs the prominent Conservative politician Owen Paterson as a paid consultant has been awarded a £133m contract without any other firms being given the opportunity to bid for the work.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has given Randox the contract to produce testing kits to help respond to the coronavirus pandemic. It was awarded “without prior publication of a call for competition”, according to details of the contract seen by the Guardian.

The founder of Randox Laboratories is Peter FitzGerald, a polo-playing multimillionaire Northern Irish doctor who is the UK’s 475th richest person with a £255m personal fortune, according to the Sunday Times rich list.

Matt Hancock’s department awarded the contract last month under fast-track arrangements that enable public bodies dealing with the pandemic to give contracts to commercial companies quickly without the need to ask other firms to bid for them.
