Simon Burns: The Department has a zero tolerance approach to violence against national health service staff. NHS Protect leads work to deter and prevent violence and aggression against NHS staff in England. Employers have a duty to identify and address risks to their staff. NHS Protect offers policy and operational guidance and assistance on this to NHS bodies and provides training for locally based...
Earl Howe: Since 1999, the National Health Service Counter Fraud Service has recovered over £65 million. In line with the White Paper Liberating the NHS, from April 2011 NHS Protect will incorporate the functions of the NHS Counter Fraud and Security Management Service that cannot be undertaken by NHS bodies, either in isolation or regionally. A consultation exercise is under way with trade unions and...
Will Quince: NHS Digital functions legally transferred to NHS England on 1 February 2023. NHS England is consequently responsible for ensuring it meets its obligations to protect people’s data.

Philip Dunne: NHS Protect is the National Health Service body responsible for co-ordinating anti-crime work in the NHS in England. Contracts for the delivery of counter fraud services at a local level are negotiated by individual NHS bodies and information on these is not held centrally. The latest performance information on both NHS Protect and Local Counter Fraud Specialists is available in the NHS...
Jeane Freeman: I absolutely agree with Gil Paterson. NHS protection legislation is self-evidently the right thing to do, and it is genuinely beyond my understanding that those who constantly thank our NHS staff and tell us that they will protect the NHS are not willing to offer their support for something so straightforward, which would protect our NHS from trade deals that could undoubtedly damage that...

Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford: The noble Lord makes very important points. It is important to understand that this is not a technology to offer advice or diagnosis. NHS Digital and NHSX have built an interface to connect the NHS website so that other organisations can make NHS information available on their own sites. That is so that a greater number of people can access NHS information. It has already been made available...

Claire Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what guidance is given by (a) his Department and (b) NHS trusts to clinicians on substantiating clinical opinion and medical diagnosis prior to the instigation of child protection measures; (2) how many child protection investigations were initiated by the Royal Liverpool Children's NHS Trust in (a) 2005 and (b) 2006; and in what percentage...
Lord Warner: There may be a misunderstanding. The primary purpose of an NHS foundation trust does not change over time. As I said on the previous amendment, the primary purpose is to provide NHS services to NHS patients based on need and not ability to pay and free at the point of use. That purpose is unchanging. The fact that the NHS foundation trust may acquire new properties and develop new services...
Helen Whately: The NHS Test and Trace programme is progressing at a fast pace of development to rise to the challenges posed by the pandemic. We are continuing to work on the overarching Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).

Lord Bethell: All health and care organisations that have access to National Health Service patient data must annually complete NHS Digital’s Data Security and Protection Toolkit. The Protection Toolkit includes guidance on how to manage out of date software.

Edward Argar: As part of the Department’s regular engagement with trade unions and NHS England and NHS Improvement, issues on the potential effect of the establishment of wholly-owned subsidiaries by National Health Service trusts on pay and conditions of healthcare workers have been raised on an ad hoc basis.
