Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether any Data Protection Impact Assessments, required under data protection legislation, or any other impact assessments have been carried out on the processing of personal health data by Palantir Technologies UK; whether the Information Commissioner’s Office or other regulatory bodies have been notified of such impact assessments; and what plans they have to publish any such impact assessments for public scrutiny.

A Data Protection Impact Assessment has been carried out for the NHS Data Store and is being published in due course by NHS England.

NHS England and the Department have been working closely with the Information Commissioner’s Office during the COVID-19 crisis.
