<p>My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has directed
NHS England to undertake data collections. The directions create a legal obligation
for the NHS England collection and processing and as a result consent is not required.</p><p>
</p><p>The Faster Data Flows pilot aims to collect data already submitted via legacy
collection systems with an aim to reduce data latency. The pilot will not collect
any data from providers which they are not already asked to provide, as it is the
collection method which is changing, not the information being collected.</p>
