To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether (a) containerised services, (b) data pipelines and (c) Application Programming Interface integrations used within the Federated Data Platform are managed from (i) repositories and (ii) orchestration tools hosted outside the UK.

There is no overseas processing of data of any type by the Federated Data Platform (FDP) programme, and therefore transfer impact assessments are not required. This is laid out in the FDP Information Governance Framework, which is available at the following link:
