For data held within health and care records, the Government commissioned a review of the current information governance rules and their application.
This review is examining whether there is an appropriate balance between the protection of confidential and identifiable information within our health and care records and the safe use and sharing of information to improve the quality and safety of our own care and for the benefit of wider society.
This independent review is being led by Dame Fiona Caldicott and will report later in the year.
