So long NHSX
HSJ revealed this week NHSX \u2013 the tech agency set up by Matt Hancock not quite two-years ago \u2013 is set to merge with NHS England. We ask what this says about the government\u2019s tech ambitions, who could be parachuted in to lead the new directorate and why a separate agency was created in the first place.
\nWe also cover the surprising news almost 2 million people have been added to the shielding list and bumped up the vaccination priority groups. Why leave it so late in the pandemic to make such a significant decision?
\nFeaturing Sharon Brennan, Nick Carding and Annabelle Collins.
