NHS Digital, the Department of Health and the Home Office have been strongly criticised for entering a memorandum of understanding regarding the former organisation providing details for immigration tracing purposes.
The agreement came to light last year and the Health Committee held a meeting to ascertain the impact, as well as how the agreement came about. Dr Sarah Wollaston MP, Chair of the Health Committee, demanded that NHS Digital should withdraw from the memorandum of understanding and stop providing data to the Home Office.
