Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether a supplier working group to better facilitate ongoing communication and dialogue with industry relating to health and social care data and cyber security has been established.
We have multiple mechanisms for engaging and working closely with suppliers, including supplier summits, direct relationships and through local organisations. In addition, we will shortly be launching the Cyber Suppliers Network to facilitate dialogue and visibility of ongoing efforts to more effectively secure data and manage cybersecurity.
