Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish the results of the Digital Health Technology Standards Audit.

The deadline for the return of the Audit’s templates to NHS England is 16 December 2022. Following analysis of the results, National Health Service organisations which have confirmed technologies not assessed against the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC) or have not undertaken DCB:0160 documentation, will be required to submit remedial action plans. NHS England intends to share these actions plans with the Department with a summary of the response rate and quality of returns. While NHS England has no plans to publish the results of the Audit, it will publish a directory of products which meet DTAC standards.
