This report is written evidence compiled by the National Data Guardian (NDG) and submitted to the UK Parliament’s Science and Technology Committee in February 2022 for consideration as part of its inquiry: The right to privacy: digital data. This evidence was also published by the committee on its website.
This response does not address all areas set out for exploration in the inquiry, only those that fall under the NDG’s remit. This inquiry asked about sharing data across a wide range of different organisations such as ‘government departments, other public bodies, research institutions and commercial organisations’. Other questions asked about sharing within discrete contexts such as ‘health and care contexts’. Given the NDG’s remit, this response only addresses the sharing of health and adult social care information.
