NHS Test & Trace and The Law


The law on protecting personally identifiable information, known as the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), allows Public Health England to use the personal information
collected by NHS Test and Trace


The section of the GDPR that applies is:


Article 6(1)(e) ‘processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public
interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller’


As information about health is a special category of personal information, a further section
of the GDPR applies:


Article 9(2)(i) ‘processing is necessary for reasons of public interest in the area of public
health, such as protecting against serious cross-border threats to health or ensuring high
standards of quality and safety of healthcare’


Public Health England also has special permission from the Secretary of State for Health and
Social Care to use personally identifiable information without people’s consent where this is
in the public interest. This is known as ‘Section 251’ approval and includes the use of the
information collected by NHS Test and Trace to help protect the public from coronavirus.


The part of the law that applies here is Section 251 of the National Health Service Act 2006
and the associated Health Service (Control of Patient Information) Regulations 2002.
