The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will consider the final costs and benefits statement for programmes delivered under the National Programme of Technology, published on 6 June 2013, in his plans for (a) an NHS Federated Data Platform and (b) a single patient record.

Answered by Karin Smyth

We are keen to draw on the lessons from the National Programme for IT in delivering the Federated Data Platform and the single patient record.

NHS England publishes information each quarter on the benefits being realised by the Federated Data Platform, with further information available at the following link:
