answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/08/2020 answer text <p>From 11 June, NHS Digital, with the support of the Department, made available an operational data dashboard – including counts of total tests, total positives and total voids per local authority - to Directors of Public Health. This was to support Directors of Public Health and local authorities’ operational needs while more detailed data sharing was being put in place. We are now making this even more detailed so users can drill down to Lower Super Output Area – on average 1,700 people.</p><p> </p><p>Public Health England began providing record level positive test data, including postcodes, to local authorities, including Directors of Public Health, on 24 June. As the information contained is personally identifiable, we do need a specific data sharing agreement in place with a specific named individual. Because of data protection, the users are typically the Director of Public Health. They are granted access once they have returned the data sharing agreement<em>.</em></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 15/08/2020 14:05:06 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 37935 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
