NHS: Microsoft
(asked on 27th March 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether Microsoft has been compliant with the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria since it first provided its Teams software to the NHS in 2021.
This question was answered on 13th April 2023
Digital Technology Assessment Criteria was launched in February 2021. We therefore do not believe that an assessment was made by NHS Digital when contracting with Microsoft against the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria as it was in consultation phase. National Health Service organisations may have chosen to use Microsoft Teams locally prior to 2021.
