question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 22 July 2019 to Question 277855, what recent estimate he has made of the proportion of Windows XP machines operating across the NHS that are unable to be updated.

uin	284438
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>We estimate there are approximately 2,300 machines in the National Health Service currently still operating on Windows XP which is no longer supported by Microsoft. To be compliant with the mandatory Data Security and Protection Toolkit, NHS organisations must operate on supported systems or have plans in place to mitigate the risk such as segregating those machines from the network. There are valid reasons why some machines cannot be upgraded from Windows XP, primarily where they run essential locally developed clinical systems that cannot be upgraded or replaced.</p><p>We are supporting NHS organisations to upgrade their existing Microsoft Windows operating systems, allowing them to reduce potential vulnerabilities and increase cyber resilience.</p><p>We signed a multi-million pound contract with Microsoft in 2018 to support the NHS to upgrade their existing Microsoft Windows operating systems onto Windows 10.</p><p>All health and care organisations that have access to NHS patient data must annually complete NHS Digital’s Data Security and Protection Toolkit. This details the standards we expect them to adhere to and Data Security Standard 8 advocates that no unsupported operating systems, software or internet browsers are used within the IT estate.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 09/09/2019 19:13:26 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

uin	285451
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Pulmonary fibrosis is currently not a medical condition that is covered by the National Health Service Medical Exemption Certificate, and therefore this condition does not automatically entitle people to free prescriptions.</p><p>However, extensive arrangements are in place to help people afford NHS prescriptions. These include a broad range of NHS prescription charge exemptions, such as free prescriptions for the individuals aged 60 and over, for which someone with pulmonary fibrosis may qualify.</p><p>People on a low income, who do not qualify for an exemption, may be eligible for full or partial help with prescription charges through application to the NHS Low Income Scheme.</p><p>To support those with greatest need who do not qualify for an exemption or the NHS Low Income Scheme, prescription prepayment certificates are available. A holder of a 12-month certificate can get all the prescriptions they need for just £2 per week.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 09/09/2019 15:08:34 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

uin	277855
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2019 answer text <p>0.16% of National Health Service machines are currently using Windows XP.</p><p>It is not possible to set a timeframe for complete removal of Windows XP from all NHS machines. This is because removal is not always possible, particularly where Windows XP is embedded in medical devices.</p><p>All NHS organisations have been given guidance on how to mitigate the risks if they cannot completely remove Windows XP from their estate, for example, they can segregate the affected machines from the network. They can also contact NHS Digital for further bespoke advice and support to mitigate risks.</p><p>All NHS organisations must report through the mandatory Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) whether or not they continue to run unsupported systems. Through the DSPT organisations must provide assurance that they are managing, monitoring and mitigating the risk. NHS Digital and NHSX then follow up with NHS trusts if that assurance is unsatisfactory.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 22/07/2019 16:07:07 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
