Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether there are additional costs for the NHS FDP programme if the NHS increases the amount of data (a) processed and (b) stored.

The Department routinely monitors performance, costs, risks, and other factors in relation to all major contracts as part of its ongoing contract management processes, and reports on those issues in the normal way at appropriate milestones. We do not provide a running commentary outside of that process.
