# Purpose and scope

<blockquote class="governing-question"><p>What DSIC and related requirements apply to England GP record software, and what evidence is needed to review an Excel clinical safety hazard log without mistaking missing evidence for non-compliance?</p></blockquote>

Audience: manufacturer and deployment Clinical Safety Officers, technical assurance reviewers, information-governance staff and GP digital-service teams.

The research covers England NHS general practice. Wider UK and Defence contexts require their own applicability decisions. This wiki verifies and develops a reference for a later closed-network review. The actual Excel Hazard Log remains there.

> Review findings remain conditional on the supplied evidence.
