Health and Social Care Committee: Federated Data Platform

Committee hears from witnesses

The Health and Social Care Committee will take oral evidence on the Federated Data Platform, a proposed system to link health and social care data across different NHS trusts and local authorities. The platform aims to enable better data sharing and analytics without centralising sensitive patient information in a single location. The session will examine how the system works, its governance, and whether it can deliver improved care coordination while protecting privacy.

The Federated Data Platform is central to the NHS's ability to integrate health and social care provision at scale. Success or failure affects how quickly the health service can spot service gaps, prevent hospital admissions, and coordinate care for elderly and vulnerable people. Implementation risks include data security, interoperability between legacy systems, and resistance from local NHS bodies reluctant to share data.
