It is a multi-agency Committee which oversees governance, risk management and controls covering corporate and national systems, NHS England provided cyber services and standards for the wider system and supply chain.

The Chair of the Cyber Security and Risk Committee is a high profile, national position in the NHS, which has a vital role in establishing best practice and equipping the NHS to deliver sustainable improvement in cyber, security, insider threat and information governance.

NHS England is wholly accountable for build, delivery, security, safety, operations of these and many other national scale systems.
