Community Health Services: Information Sharing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what guidance he has issued to (a) public (b) private and (c) voluntary organisations involved in the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme on best practice data sharing.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
In September 2025, we launched the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme (NNHIP) in 43 places across England.
The NNHIP is a large-scale change programme for all partners involved in delivering neighbourhood health: the National Health Service; local government; social care providers; other statutory and non-statutory organisations; and the voluntary sector.
We are working closely with the relevant transformation teams to strengthen data‑sharing arrangements across the programme. Sites are already exchanging learning on effective local approaches, and we are jointly developing practical guidance to support safe and consistent data sharing while wider national solutions are progressed.
