The Privacy, Transparency & Trust (PTT) Sub-directorate is a sub-directorate of the Delivery Directorate.

This aligns with the new legal duty of NHS England to have regard to the need to respect and promote privacy of patients and the core principles that underpin NHS England as a safe haven of patient data.
