Recommendation 7
7
Paragraph: 47
Review exclusion of health and social care data from Digital Economy Act 2017.
Recommendation
While time in this Parliament now runs short, we recommend that the next Government review the exclusion of health and social care data from the Digital Economy Act 2017. There are understandable sensitivities around the sharing of health data, but it may be that the implementation of research provisions over the last seven years, and the work that has taken place in the context of the Caldicott review, offer a helpful new basis for discussion concerning their possible inclusion.
