Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether all NHS organisations were required to reach out to all of their providers of digital services as part of the Digital Health Technology Standards Audit.

The Digital Health Technology Standards Audit did not require National Health Service organisations to contact providers of digital services. The Audit requests information from NHS secondary care organisations on the digital health technologies deployed within the organisation, whether a DCB:0160 clinical safety case to deploy the technology was completed, whether the organisation assessed the technologies against all or any part of the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria and optionally, contract length and value. We would expect this information to be held by the organisations.
