No assessment or decisions have yet been made on the use of NHS Test and Trace data systems for other purposes beyond those related to COVID-19. Any work to assess potential future uses of these data systems would be met from within the financial resources already allocated to NHS Test and Trace for the 2021/22 financial year.
