NHS Test and Trace: Databases

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to close the NHS Test and Trace database system once the covid-19 outbreak in the UK has ended.

Answer

No assessment or decisions have yet been made on the use of NHS Test and Trace data systems for other purposes beyond those related to COVID-19. Any work to assess potential future uses of these data systems would be met from within the financial resources already allocated to NHS Test and Trace for the 2021/22 financial year.
