Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many automated decision-making systems are currently in use by the Department of Health and Social Care, even partially, to make decisions that affect people’s legal rights or entitlements; and how many of those systems have publicly available equality impact assessments or data protection impact assessments or both.
The Department does not use automated decision-making in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.
