Coronavirus: Screening
Monday 30th November 2020

Asked by: Lord Strasburger (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have considered if any data collected from COVID-19 testing could be used to create (1) a UK DNA biobank, or (2) be used by Genomics England for any purpose.

Answered by Lord Callanan - Shadow Minister (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

We are not planning to create a new UK DNA biobank specifically for Covid-19 purposes. However, Covid-19 testing data is made available to researchers to support the Covid-19 response.

Regarding whether data collected from Covid-19 testing could be used by Genomics England for any purpose, participants in Genomics England research studies can consent to give access to their nationally held health data, including Covid-19 testing data, for research. Only in cases where participants have given their consent, Public Health England will provide Genomics England with Covid-19 test data to support this research. NHS Test and Trace data forms part of Public Health England’s central dataset.
