The report looks back over the first term of office of Dame Fiona Caldicott as National Data Guardian and describes future priorities.

It sets out a clear case for the independent advice and challenge the role provides to ensure that confidential data collected by the NHS and social care services is properly safeguarded and used appropriately to improve care.
