Page summary:
Response to concerns from the Not With My NHS Data campaign about access to patient data by external contractors in the NHS Federated Data Platform National Data Integration Tenant.

Change made:
We agreed to update this statement once NHS England had responded to the National Data Guardian’s request for information and clarification. NHS England has now provided that information, and the statement has been updated to reflect and respond to it. We also removed a section discussing the National Data Opt-out and its relationship to the NHS Federated Data Platform more broadly. Having reviewed the statement, we concluded that this discussion was outside the scope of the specific issue being addressed, namely contractor access to the National Data Integration Tenant and may have caused confusion.
