Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Markham on 14 February (HL5455), whether they will direct NHS England to publish the agenda and minutes of its Data, Digital and Technology committee and other board committees, in the interests of transparency.

There are no plans to direct NHS England to publish the agenda and minutes of its Data, Digital and Technology committee and other board committees. NHS England should consider how best to ensure transparency in its governance arrangements.
