Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the risk of (a) cyber-attacks and (b) technical failure of TeleTracking Technologies' systems used to deliver the Patient and Asset Tracking pilots; and what steps he is taking to mitigate those risks.

As TeleTracking systems have been selected and implemented locally, cyber security and technical resilience is a matter for the trust concerned. In producing a national framework with NHS Digital, security and resilience would form part of the specification and shortlisting process.
