Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to establish an ethics board to oversee the NHS COVID-19 Data Store.
This question was answered on 6th August 2020
NHS England is the sole controller of data held within the NHS COVID-19 Data Store and for any data legally shared with them under the notice issued by the Secretary of State under the NHS Control of Patient Information (COPI) Regulations 2002. The notices allow permitted organisations, under Regulation 3(3) of the COPI regulations, to process data only for COVID-19 related purposes. The Department has no plans to establish an ethics board for the NHS COVID-19 Data Store.
