Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of whether the Information Sharing to Tackle Violence scheme is fully compliant with data protection legislation.

Individuals cannot be identified either directly or indirectly from the information that is shared and because the scheme does not involve the sharing of personal data or confidential patient information, the scheme is fully compliant with data protection legislation. Anonymous information is not covered by the General Data Protection Regulation or Data Protection Act 2018.
