	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Data Protection Impact Assessment for the NHS COVID-19 Data Store published on 5 June covers the release of patient identifiable information to local public health teams; and if so, which (1) legal, or (2) policy, provisions prevent local directors of public health from receiving such information.

	uin	HL6452
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2020 answer text <p>The COVID-19 Data Store does not hold patient identifiable data, as all data is de-identified (pseudonymised) in line with Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) guidance and best practice, prior to being imported to the database. Therefore, the release of patient identifiable information to local public health teams, via the COVID-19 Data Store, is not possible.</p><p>NHS England is the data controller for all data held within the COVID-19 data store and ensures (via contractual arrangements) that data storage and processes are fully compliant with legislation and best practice.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 17/07/2020 12:19:55 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell
