Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what length of contract has been agreed with Amazon to provide health data from the NHS.
This agreement is not exclusive. There are over 2,000 other organisations that are accessing and using information from the National Health Service website in a similar way.
We want to continue working with Amazon and other companies in order to ensure that citizens have access to the best source of verified health information, and therefore this contract is intended to be open-ended. We will continue to review our relationships with Amazon and other organisations that are using information taken from the NHS website to ensure that they continue to provide the best possible service.
