3 | IG professional research - health and social care data sharing survey reportFB introduced the item. The ICO carried out a data sharing survey last year to gain an understanding of the main data sharing challenges experienced and how issues specific to the health and care sector can be addressed through supplementary guidance products. FB will continue to engage with colleagues when guidance products are made available. |
4 | Data sharing agreementsRM provided an update on the proposed new approach on data sharing agreements (DSAs). Currently, there are a number of data sharing initiatives available between health and care providers relying on separate DSA’s covering clusters of multiple point to point arrangements. The intention is to standardise the process and reduce the burden. A task and finish group was set up to explore the IG issues and there was support for a national approach which was also approved by the panel’s working group. The panel supported the next steps for discussions to take place on how to progress a national approach further. They also supported the establishment of a task and finish group to draft template IG documents. |
