It sounds like a World Health Organization mechanism. They will try to get their pandemic measures in at any cost.

The last census in 2021 asked intrusive questions (as I remember) about disability and care. So I expect theyhave already collected the data they need.

Plus In the UK, spyware company Palantir (Thiel) were awarded a contract with our National Health Service - for a £1 deal (one pound!) with then Health Secretary Matt Hancock in March 2020 at the outbreak of the "Pandemic" Special ministerial powers bypassed patient confidentiality rules, allowing the company to process patient data.

In Nov 2023 Palantir was awarded a £330 million contract to create a new data management system the Federated Data Platform providing "joined up" NHS services. This could be the worlds largest population health dataset.

Stated goals are " to make NHS datasets more open to business, researchers, and citizens."

The NHS in the UK has data on everyone as it was until very recently our only health provider. So its data will cover the entire 70 million population, just the thing to hand over to a spyware company.
