The Hon. Member will appreciate that there are literally millions of data points every week that contribute to any central assessment of how the federated data platform is operating and performing, and it would be neither practical nor cost-effective to publish the totality of that data. The available data I referred to in my previous answer represents a top-level summary of that operational information, and helps inform the Department’s ongoing assessment of the platform’s performance.
