Yes. The Secure Enclave stores the data like a fingerprint, and that data - to the best of my knowledge - is not backed up to the cloud.

  Right, but we’re talking about medical data. Which in lieu of further information I assume would be backed up in the same way as iCloud data. Unless there are statements to the contrary?

  "Health data can be stored in iCloud. When configured for iCloud storage, Health data is synced between devices and secured by encryption that protects the data both in transit and at rest. Health data is only included in encrypted iTunes Backups. It is not included in either unencrypted iTunes backups or iCloud Backup." https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf -- pg. 29 under the Health Data subsection.

Unless I’m misunderstanding you, your quote disagrees with your assertion. Health data is only included in encrypted iTunes backups. It is not included in unencrypted iTunes backups or in iCloud backups. Of course, that’s just backups. It does say it can be configured to be stored and synced between devices via iCloud, where it is encrypted in transit and at rest. That appears to indicate it is stored pre-encrypted, and does not indicate there is any way to access it outside ones devices.

      Not your misunderstanding. My misphrasing. That's what I was trying to say.
