Background
To be able to respond to COVID-19 the Secretary of State issued a wide package of measures enabling healthcare organisations, Arms’ Length Bodies and local authorities to be able to process and share the data they need to respond to COVID-19. One part of this package is a range of notices referred to as the Control of Patient Information (COPI) regulations, which allow the processing of confidential patient information for a specific purpose. These notices are due to end in March 2021.
