The Cabinet Office became aware of this issue at the beginning of October, and took<\/p>
immediate steps to ascertain what had happened and why, and to seek reassurance from<\/p>
departments that they had received the notification when it was resent on 11 June, and<\/p>
that they had not destroyed any records relevant to the Inquiry during the period 3 April<\/p>
to 11 June.<\/p>
<\/p>
All relevant departments and relevant areas within departments worked urgently to<\/p>
confirm that they have not destroyed any records relevant to the Inquiry during the<\/p>
period between 3rd April and 11th June, and have provided confirmation.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department of Health and Social Care put in place a moratorium on the destruction of historical records as soon as the Inquiry was announced in July 2017.<\/p>
<\/p>
Because of their size and the complexity of some of the records they hold, HM Courts and Tribunals Service and the Legal Aid Agency are continuing to work to provide this assurance and have committed to doing so as urgently as possible. All other relevant departments and agencies have already been able to provide assurances that no information relevant to the inquiry was destroyed during that period.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/15", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir David Lidington"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Aylesbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr David Lidington"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-10-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-26T14:26:52.393Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "53"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Infected Blood Inquiry"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Written Ministerial Statement of 18 October 2018, Infected Blood Inquiry, HCWS1021, when his Department became aware that the email containing the retention notice was not delivered to Government Departments; and what assesment he has made of the contents of any files that may have been destroyed.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4673", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Platt"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leigh"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jo Platt"} ], "uin" : "181623"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/991185", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/991185/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Cyber Security Information Sharing Partnership (CiSP) is a joint industry and government initiative set up to exchange cyber threat information in real time, in a confidential and dynamic environment. The benefits of CiSP include giving members a secure environment to engage with industry and government counterparts, supplying early warning of cyber threats, and helping members learn from their experiences and successes of other users. In October 2018 the total number of organisations registered on CiSP is over 6500 and the number of individual users registered is over 11,600.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4115", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Margot James"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stourbridge"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Margot James"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-10-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-24T15:15:55.193Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Cybersecurity"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how many (a) organisations and (b) individuals have signed up to the cyber security information sharing partnership.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4673", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Platt"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leigh"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jo Platt"} ], "uin" : "181641"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/991248", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/991248/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has commissioned research into cyber security roles in the UK Labour Market, which includes private organisations, charities and public sector organisations of a variety of sizes and sectors.<\/p>
<\/p>
The research is focused on identifying what are cyber security skills, who works in cyber security roles (size of cyber security teams, level of seniority, skills set of the individuals), what are the current skills available and what are the current skills gaps in the market.<\/p>
<\/p>
Once complete, we expect to publish this research and its recommendations which will then feed into our strategic development of cyber security skills interventions going forward. This is in line with the government\u2019s commitment to ensuring the UK has a sustainable pipeline of cyber security talent.<\/p>

It is not possible to estimate the cost to the public purse of the WannaCry cyber incident as no data was collecting during the incident on the cost of recovering data and IT systems or the cost on disruption to patient care. To determine the cost to the public purse would require collecting data from all organisations which itself would impose a disproportionate financial burden on them.<\/p>
<\/p>
The WannaCry attack was unprecedented in terms of scale and disruption affecting systems internationally international including several within the NHS infrastructure who fell victim due to basic vulnerabilities in their cyber defences.<\/p>
