To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what measures have been put in place to mitigate any potential conflicts of interest regarding the Department of Healths' Permanent Secretary involvement in the management and oversight of the NHS Federated Data Platform contract.
- Answer
-
The NHS Federated Data Platform contract was procured and awarded by NHS England before the Permanent Secretary’s appointment to her current role.
Whilst there was and is no conflict of interest, to avoid any perception of a conflict, the Permanent Secretary has decided she will not be involved in any Departmental decisions relating specifically to the NHS Federated Data Platform contract.
