Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether there is a specific ethical oversight mechanism for the covid-19 tracing app being developed by NHSX.
This question was answered on 7th May 2020
We have established an Ethics Advisory Board (EAB), which is advising the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and identifying the ethical challenges that need to be considered when it comes to deploying measures to stop the spread of coronavirus. The EAB will continue to oversee and guide development of the app to ensure key ethical considerations are examined openly and transparently over time.
