Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is committed to transparency and evidence-based policy making. In line with established best practice for impact assessments, we will publish proportionate assessments to support these reforms. Where appropriate, assessments will be published alongside relevant consultations or decisions to enable scrutiny by Parliament and the public. These will be proportionate to the scale of the reform, and will support decision-making with clear evidence, analysis of options, and consideration of affected groups. Financial information, including any redundancy costs, projected savings, and other material implications, will be disclosed in line with Government reporting requirements and transparency commitments.
NHS England Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Monday 1st December 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his planned timetable is for publication of a formal impact assessment on the abolition of NHS England. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We will publish an impact assessment as part of the material to accompany the required primary legislation which will be brought forward when parliamentary time allows. Work is progressing at pace to develop the design and operating model for the new integrated organisation, and to plan for the smooth transfer of people, functions, and responsibilities. It is only right that with such significant reform, we commit to carefully assessing and understanding the potential impacts, as is due process. These ongoing assessments will inform our programme as appropriate. The Government is committed to transparency and will consider how best to ensure that the public and parliamentarians are informed of the outcomes.
Digital Technology: Proof of Identity Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Thursday 4th December 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that digital identity does not become a de facto requirement for participation in (a) commerce, (b) governance and (c) daily life. Answered by Josh Simons - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) The Government’s new digital credential will focus on use cases that are most impactful for the public and will be designed to make interactions with public services easier. We will invite views on such use cases through the public consultation that will launch in the new year.
Electronic Government: Proof of Identity Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Thursday 4th December 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department plans to provide alternative identity verification routes for individuals who do not wish to submit (a) facial and (b) other biometric data in the context of the proposed introduction of digital ID cards. Answered by Josh Simons - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) We are inviting the public to have their say in the upcoming consultation as we develop a safe, secure, and truly inclusive system for the UK. The consultation will gather views on the scheme, including any concerns around facial and biometric data associated with a digital ID. No final decisions will be made until after the consultation. We will ensure that the digital ID scheme complies with all data protection legislation, and user privacy will be at the heart of the design of the scheme at every stage of development and delivery.
Electronic Government: Proof of Identity Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Thursday 4th December 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what safeguards will be in place for self-employed individuals who decline to use the Government’s One Login system in 2027 on grounds of (a) conscience and (b) security. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) GOV.UK One Login is the single sign-in and identity checking solution enabling citizens to access digital government services. Over time it will replace all other sign-in methods on GOV.UK including Government Gateway. Whilst HMRC will serve most of its customers and their intermediaries through its digital services, it will also provide targeted support so customers can access HMRC’s knowledgeable advisers in circumstances where they need that support to get their tax affairs right. HMRC wants to encourage as many of its customers as possible to use available digital channels, but in many cases, customers have the option of using a paper form or an agent. Where the use of digital channels is required for some customers, as with Making Tax Digital, customers can apply for an exemption from these rules when it is not reasonably practicable for them to access or use digital services.
Electronic Government: Proof of Identity Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Friday 5th December 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps she is taking to ensure that the proposed digital verification process for the Government’s One Login system is compliant with Article 9 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation in the context of the processing of biometric data. Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) GOV.UK One Login is fully compliant with all aspects of data protection law, including in relation to the processing of biometric data under the UK GDPR. DSIT relies on Article 9(2)(g) UK GDPR (substantial public interest) for the processing of biometric data. The appropriate safeguards and data minimisation procedures are applied throughout GOV.UK One Login’s biometric checks and special category data is processed only where lawful, necessary and proportionate. GOV.UK One Login provides an alternative route for individuals who do not wish to, or cannot, prove their identity using biometrics.

Select Committee Inquiry
12 Dec 2025 Delivering the Neighbourhood Health Service: Estates Health and Social Care Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 13 Feb 2026) The Committee is holding an inquiry into what is needed from the NHS estate to deliver the Government’s vision of a ‘Neighbourhood Health Service’ — shifting care from hospitals to integrated, preventative services in local communities. Currently, 11% of the NHS estate is older than the NHS itself and many providers report that ageing premises are unsuitable to deliver community health services. The Committee’s inquiry will examine the physical infrastructure requirements to realise this shift, which includes the establishment of ‘Neighbourhood Health Centres’ in every community. It will explore whether current estate plans, funding and leasing systems, and delivery models are suitable, as well as the risks and opportunities of Public-Private Partnerships. This includes lessons from past models such as PFI. The inquiry will assess how existing NHS buildings can be repurposed, the role of new builds, and the use of non-NHS spaces to deliver the community-based care. It will consider the needs of all communities, including those in rural or underserved areas. The Committee invites written evidence from Friday 12 December until 11.59pm on Friday 13 February.

The Committee is holding an inquiry into what is needed from the NHS estate to deliver the Government’s vision of a ‘Neighbourhood Health Service’ — shifting care from hospitals to integrated, preventative services in local communities.

Currently, 11% of the NHS estate is older than the NHS itself and many providers report that ageing premises are unsuitable to deliver community health services.

The Committee’s inquiry will examine the physical infrastructure requirements to realise this shift, which includes the establishment of ‘Neighbourhood Health Centres’ in every community. It will explore whether current estate plans, funding and leasing systems, and delivery models are suitable, as well as the risks and opportunities of Public-Private Partnerships.

The inquiry will assess how existing NHS buildings can be repurposed, the role of new builds, and the use of non-NHS spaces to deliver the community-based care. It will consider the needs of all communities, including those in rural or underserved areas.

The Committee invites written evidence from Friday 12 December until 11.59pm on Friday 13 February.
