It is against that background that the information commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, has issued her damning verdict against the Royal Free hospital trust under the NHS, which handed over to DeepMind the records of 1.6 million patients in 2015 on the basis of a vague agreement which took far too little account of the patients’ rights and their expectations of privacy.(2018英语一text3)

【句子结构分析】
主干：It is against that background(that为指示代词)
①：同位语从句解释说明background
②：非限制性定语从句修饰NHS，其中hand over to 为谓语，DeepMind 为宾语， the records of 1.6 million patients为宾语后置，原结构为hand over…to…，in 2015为时间状语，on the basis of a vague agreement整体做方式状语
③：定语从句修饰agreement
【参考翻译】正是在这种背景下，信息专员伊丽莎白·德纳姆发布了她对NHS的皇家自由医院信托公司的严厉裁决，该信托公司在2015年向深度思维公司移交了160万名患者的记录，其基础是一项模糊的协议，该协议几乎远远没有考虑病人的权利和隐私。
