> What the hell? Why do we let Google get away with this.

So Google signed a deal with a government agency that was approved by said agency and they should be fined for that? Wow.

Both sides in a contract are responsible for them acting according to laws, yes. (one-sided punishment would be unfair though, so I think in this case the requirement for proper follow-up and doing it better next time is good resolution, unless it caused actual damage)

The Royal Free NHS Foundation Trust is not a government agency.

There are several layers between the Royal Free and government.
