Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what contractual requirements have been put in place to ensure that third party providers working with NHSX on the development of the covid-19 tracing app will comply with data protection regulations.

Should users of the app choose to share their data with the National Health Service, it may be retained in accordance with necessary legislation, and may be used in the future for research in the public interest, or by the NHS for planning and delivering services, subject to the necessary approvals required by law.
