PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
NHS: Databases (29 April 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 29 April 2024 to Question 23065 on NHS: Databases, if he will hold discussions with the Federation of Clinical Registries on the (a) procurement and (b) centralising of clinical registries by the Medical Devices Outcome Registry programme.

Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

NHS England’s Patient Outcomes and Registries Programme is not centralising all clinical registries. The programme is: providing a new, improved national approach to NHS England funded clinical registries that optimises the security and use of patient data to improve patient safety vigilance and to improve patient outcomes, innovation, and value; and expanding the coverage of NHS England’s clinical registries and patient reported outcome measurement into new areas, to meet the independent Cumberlege and Paterson enquiry requirements to improve patient outcomes. The programme is undertaking extensive engagement, and we propose that any meetings with specific stakeholder groups about the programme are organised via the Medical Devices Outcome Registry Programme Director.
