Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate her Department has made of the take-up by NHS Trusts of NHS England's Federated Data Platform in each of the next five years.
This question was answered on 18th December 2023
The Federated Data Platform (FDP) is a vital upgrade for the National Health Service, allowing it to use data to improve outcomes for patients; the pilot sites were able to discharge people quicker, and shorten waiting lists.
The FDP will be rolled-out in approximately 15 to 20 Trusts in each quarter over the next three and a half years.
