<p>The Department has not funded any data protection training or guidance for National
Health Service personnel during the last three years. However, the Department, working
with NHS England, the Health and Social Care Information Centre, Public Health England
and other national health and care organisations recently established the Information
Governance Alliance to provide a joined up and consistent approach to providing support
and guidance to the NHS on a range of information governance issues, including data
protection.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Information about how much NHS organisations
spend on data protection training is not collected centrally. While NHS organisations
are required to provide training to their staff which incorporates key elements of
data protection, each organisation is responsible for determining the type and quantity
of training and for enduring that it is effective. No assessment of the effectiveness
of local training is made centrally.</p><p> </p>
