The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether data from Cost Recovery Collection in the NHS can be accessed by the Federated Data Platform.

Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed

Data collected as part of the NHS Cost Recovery Collection is not accessible by the NHS Federated Data Platform (NHS FDP). The NHS FDP does not hold, process, or provide access to data relating to an individual’s immigration or residency status, nor does it ingest data from the Cost Recovery Collection.
