Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many patient medical records are held electronically on the GP2GP system.

The GP2GP system is used to transfer electronic health records when a patient moves to a new general practitioner (GP), as such it does not hold any records, it simply facilitates the transfer from the previous GP’s clinical computer system across the NHS Spine, to the new GP’s clinical computer system.
