What has been the impact of not having that data?

Is there a way round that by releasing the information back to health and social care partnerships?

Let us carry on. Page 4 of the report has a lot of bad news on it.

Am I correct in saying that one month of data was deleted?

How confident are you about those new controls? The fact is that it was a human error. An instruction was given and checked and then released to the contractor, who acted on it. Why would that not happen again? What will those who are responsible do—will they have triple checks or quadruple checks?

This NFI outturn is pretty mixed. It is good to see that there are eight additional participants. The number and spread of participants have been part of an on-going discussion between the committee and the Auditor General for an extended period. That is still unresolved.

I have some key points. Page 4 of the report says:

“Immigration data was also not included in the 2018-19 and 2020-21 exercises due to restrictions placed on it by the Home Office.”

Tell me more about the restrictions that the Home Office put in place which resulted in immigration data not being included.

Do we know whether that data will be available for the next exercise?
