Written Question
Police National Database
Wednesday 18th October 2023

Asked by: David Davis (Conservative - Haltemprice and Howden)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the implications for her policies on the storage by police of custody images of people who have not been convicted of the judgment in RMC and FJ v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis and Secretary of State for the Home Department [2012] EWHC 1681 (Admin).

Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)

It is police forces’ responsibility to comply with the judgment.

Since the judgment those not convicted of an offence have the right to request deletion of their custody image, with a presumption in favour, and the police have issued guidance for people in custody setting out those rights.


Written Question
Police National Database
Wednesday 18th October 2023

Asked by: David Davis (Conservative - Haltemprice and Howden)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many custody images of people who have not been convicted of a crime are stored in the Police National Database.

Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Police National Database (PND) hold custody records, including facial images, that are a copy of custody records held by forces. It does not process these records and has no mechanism to identify which custody records progressed to conviction or ‘No Further Action’ on the local force system as it does not hold information of how offences are subsequently disposed (this information resides on PNC, but not PND).

College of Policing Authorised Professional Practice sets our the basis upon which Police Forces retain custody images, which individual Forces then apply locally.

Written Question
NHS Trusts: Databases
Tuesday 25th July 2023

Asked by: David Davis (Conservative - Haltemprice and Howden)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 23 March 2023 to Question 160180 on NHS Trusts: Databases, whether any of the Trusts that had (a) paused and (b) suspended pilots of Palantir Foundry have (i) resumed and (ii) restarted their pilots since 23 March 2023.

Answered by Will Quince

There are currently two main Foundry pilots delivering benefits to trusts, namely the Improving Elective Care Coordination for Patients (IECCP) Programme which supports trusts to effectively deliver care through the implementation of the Care Coordination Solution (CCS); and the Dynamic Discharge programme to support effective hospital discharge.

The table below shows those trusts that are listed as either pausing or suspending these pilots in March 2023 and gives the reason why for each:

Trust

IECCP solution

Dynamic Discharge solution

Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Paused due to upgrade of supporting systems within the Trust; due to restart once upgrades are complete.

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust

Declined offer following discussions as existing system provided current capabilities.

London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust

Paused temporarily due to impact of strike action within Trust.

Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Trust chose to address internal process change before participating in a digital transformation programme.

Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Paused whilst work is completed to enable Dynamic Discharge module.

Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust

Paused due to operational pressures.

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Foundation Trust

Trust chose to address internal process change before participating in a digital transformation programme.

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust

Paused due to other programmes of work within their IT department.

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust

Paused due to operational pressures, strike action and a recent EPR upgrade.

Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital

Following discussions, it was agreed that the pilot products were not designed to address the Trust’s particular issues.

University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust

The Trust made the decision not to participate in the programme based on lack of capacity of Trust resources to engage with the programme.

Notes:

  1. There are no trusts where the Dynamic Discharge programme is live, but IECCP is paused. The IECCP programme is live in some Trusts where implementation of Dynamic Discharge was paused in March. These Trusts are as follows:

- East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust;

- London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust;

- Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; and

- University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust.

  1. The following trusts have re-engaged with the programme and are in the process of restarting with the Dynamic Discharge solution:

- Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust;

- Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

  1. Discussions are ongoing with some other trusts about the best time to re-engage with the Dynamic Discharge programme.
