Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help ensure compliance with data protection requirements relating to the processing of special category data, including data relating to health or protected characteristics.

All processing of personal data, including special category data, within the Department is screened to identify whether it is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. Where high-risk processing is identified, a Data Protection Impact Assessment is completed to support compliance with data protection law and associated guidance.
