Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish the data governance framework for the covid-19 tracing app being developed by NHSX.

In all stages of the app’s development, we have drawn on expertise from across Government, civil society and industry to review our design and help test the app. As part of our commitment to transparency, we will be publishing the key security and privacy designs alongside the source code. A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) will be completed and reviewed at each stage of the App’s development, this is subject to ongoing scrutiny, oversight and assurance. We will publish the DPIA for each stage of the App’s development as quickly as we can.
