<p>The Government takes the protection of personal data and the right to privacy extremely
seriously. Ministers have not discussed this specific agreement. It is up to each
department to make sure they are complying with our data protection legislation. The
greater the sensitivity of the data, the greater the care that needs to be taken.
For example, all organisations need to ensure there is a lawful basis for processing
the data, design new systems with data protection principles in mind and consult the
Information Commissioner where appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>As part of this agreement,
no patient data held by NHS bodies is being shared with Amazon. The agreement is clear
that Amazon will not share information with third parties, nor is it going to sell
products, make product recommendations or build a health profile on users.</p>
