227: Clause 88, page 83, line 6, leave out paragraph (b)
Member’s explanatory statement
The Government has announced that it will be using the powers in this Clause to merge NHS Digital and NHSX to form part of the new Transformation Directorate within NHSE. The Health and Social Care Information Centre is an executive non-departmental public body created by statute, also known as NHS Digital. This amendment which would prevent this happening to the Health and Social Care Information Centre, is designed to probe what safeguards are being built in to protect patient data.
