Proof of Identity: Digital Technology
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether NHS data will be integrated into the Digital ID database.
- Answer
-
No. There will be no new single central database storing all government data on a person in one place. We will design the digital ID system to be secure, with only the minimum amount of data collected and stored.
Data will primarily remain securely in the parts of the system where it already exists. For instance, data about someone’s health will remain with the National Health Service.
