answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>The previous Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Department, NHS Digital and the Home Office was introduced to formalise longstanding arrangements under which the Home Office could seek non-medical information from NHS Digital to support them to trace immigration offenders. The Government has since agreed to amend the MOU so that it can only be used to trace those individuals facing deportation action for serious criminal offending and, as now, to protect the welfare of an individual. As the previous MOU is no longer required, it has been withdrawn.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 29/11/2018 17:40:09 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
