Patients need the right to choose whether they are happy to be surveilled by Oxevision They should not have to ask to cover it. It should be assumed that they do not consent until consent is given Given it’s intrusiveness it may still interfere with their care even when covered

oh hey, @sabpNHS 's FOI response links to the training video with this admission in it: oxehealth knows patients hide under bedsheets "to have some privacy" from oxevision. they know what they're doing to people. they know it's an invasion of privacy. they just don't care.

why do they think commercial interests outweigh the public interest in transparency? how can they say its in the early stages of implementation when they’ve spent a significant amount of money on it for 2 years? why would disclosing DPIA/business case risk Oxehealth’s security?

Having cameras there, even if someone isn't watching 24/7, means to patients they are being constantly observed. Because if you don't know when someone is looking you'll feel the permanent sense that they *could* be looking. *Big Brother is always watching* sort of thing

Next they identify how, as the technology is used in CAMHS wards, children may also be seen undressed and the system therefore may be misused by a paedophile staff member But sure, Oxevision definitely reduces the risk of sexual abuse and increase patient safety

The NIA is the mechanism by which SIM - criminalising distress and illness with cops in care plans - and OxeVision - video surveillance in bedrooms and bathrooms on psych wards - were rapidly expanded. Note interest in patient, clinical and COMMERCIAL interests in the text above.
