Hansard for 13 September to 13 October 2026 records no urgent question, statement or debate titled on GP data in the Federated Data Platform, only a passing mention in the minister's closing speech on the Lords Health Bill on 13 October, and the Health and Social Care Committee held no evidence session on it.
(adjacent). The market resolves on hansard.parliament.uk and committees.parliament.uk: YES if between 13 September and 13 October 2026 Hansard records an urgent question, a ministerial statement or a Westminster Hall or chamber debate whose title or opening names GP data in the Federated Data Platform, or the Health and Social Care Committee holds an oral evidence session on it; written questions, written statements and committee correspondence do not count. If those pages have not published, BBC and the Guardian settle it, and silence by 23:59 BST on 13 October resolves NO.
Both earlier cases about GP records drew a fast challenge. We looked for times since 2014 when an NHS body in England widened the patient data stored on, or open to, a central or contractor-run platform, and the public found out from the press or a low-key document instead of an announcement. We found six. For each we asked whether the ICO (the data watchdog), the BMA (the doctors' body) or the Commons Health and Social Care Committee opened an inquiry or made a written challenge within 30 days.
