August 2026 update
General
We have had several practices contact us about correspondence they have received from patients relating to concerns about the Federated Data Platform. In response to these enquiries, we initially shared a statement from HNY ICB. We have since received an additional response from NHS England that practices may also wish to share with patients. You are welcome to use either of these responses responding to patients:

We have seen an increase this month in queries relating to complex SARs and SARs for children. As these requests should be considered on a case-by-case basis, we are always happy to provide advice and support. You may also find the links below from our IG Portal useful.
