Written Question
Wednesday 10th June 2020
Asked by:
Ben Everitt (Conservative - Milton Keynes North)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the announcement by NHS Digital on 18 March 2020 that NHS annual cyber security checks will be delayed to 30 September 2020, what cyber security protections are in place for the Milton Keynes University Hospital during the covid-19 outbreak.
Answered by Nadine Dorries
All organisations that have access to National Health Service patient data and systems should complete a Data Security and Protection Toolkit self-assessment each year. For 2019/20 the deadline for completion has been pushed back from March to September to allow organisations to focus on their COVID-19 response.
To support the NHS and further strengthen cyber resilience across the system during the COVID-19 response period, NHSX and delivery partners are providing enhanced central support to NHS organisations to manage their cyber risks.
Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust had already submitted an initial interim self-assessment, against the March 2020 submission, in September 2019. This information is being used by NHS Digital to help inform the support package they are offering to the Trust during this COVID-19 response period to help address any critical cyber vulnerabilities.

to the Department of Health and Social Care:

NHS England and NHS Improvement issued guidance setting out arrangements for National Health Service dental care during the pandemic period and the financial support being put in place for NHS dental contract holders and those working on NHS dental contracts.
