answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2021 answer text <p>Data law provides a number of gateways that enable sharing of personal data, including personal health data, with a range of organisations without the individual's consent. These include where sharing is legally required or where it is in the public interest.</p><p>We have used existing powers to publish Control of Patient Information (COPI) notices to require organisations working for the health service, local authorities and the Department's arm’s length bodies to share data to support the response to COVID-19. An individual's confidential patient information can only be shared under the COPI notices where it is allowed under data protection legislation such as the Data Protection Act and United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulations. The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Self-Isolation) (England) Regulations 2020 also enable the disclosure of confidential patient information to a non-health authority during the management of the COVID-19 outbreak.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 19/04/2021 15:36:59 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 83909 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2021 answer text <p>It is not possible to provide information on the estimated nosocomial infection rate for COVID-19 in England, based on data held.</p><p>Since October 2020, NHS England and NHS Improvement have published data relating to hospital activity which includes the numbers of people diagnosed in hospital or admitted to hospital with COVID-19. Data relating to the number of patients diagnosed in the community and subsequently admitted to hospital or admitted to hospital and diagnosed with COVID-19 within eight days after admission is also published.</p><p>Given the incubation period of the virus and local differences in application of testing protocols, it is not possible to definitively determine the number of people who contracted COVID-19 while in hospital in England to date. Consequently, it is not possible to determine the number of deaths resulting from nosocomial COVID-19.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 03/02/2021 09:34:19 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 78961 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
