Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether NHS England has conducted data transfer impact assessments on (a) access, (b) processing and (c) codebase maintenance undertaken by overseas Palantir staff.

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:
