Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what artificial intelligence services or tools are used by their department; and whether the department has a contract with each provider of those services.

The Department uses a small number of Enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) tools. These currently include Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Anthropic Claude.

The Department has contractual arrangements in place for the AI tools it uses. Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio are provided through the Department’s Microsoft licensing arrangements, while Anthropic Claude has been accessed through Amazon Web Services.
