Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much the National Data Guardian spent on equality and diversity training in the 2022-23 financial year.
The National Data Guardian (NDG) and staff are hosted by NHS England. Equality, diversity and inclusivity training is provided by NHS England under the terms of the hosted office arrangements and must be completed by all staff. The NDG’s office has not spent any of its budget on additional equality and diversity training.
