This is the National Data Guardian’s (NDG’s) formal response to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s consultation Data: a new direction on the proposed reforms to data protection law in the UK.
This is not an exhaustive review of all the government’s proposals, but rather the NDG’s considerations and recommendations on those areas of the reforms that may impact the health and social care sector.
The appropriate use of data is essential to ensure continuous improvements in health and social care. The NDG is supportive of the government’s aim of building an improved data protection regime. As such, this response is intended to provide advice and feedback on areas of the consultation where the NDG believes further consideration might be necessary if the government is to achieve its stated aim.
The Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner Professor Frasor Sampson, and the Scottish Biometrics Commissioner Dr Brian Plastow, write to the government about the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport’s Data Consultation.
The GLA strongly believes that Government needs to do more to unlock the power of data, helping organisations to make better decisions and operate more efficiently. Greater sharing of information between public authorities will allow them to improve the lives of citizens and help the economy flourish. To this end, in March 2016, the GLA launched the London City Data Strategy. The aim of this strategy is to give London the most dynamic and productive city data market in the world by reducing friction in the sharing and value-driven exploitation of city data to a minimum. The GLA seeks to recognise city data as part of the capital’s infrastructure, using it to save money, incubate innovation, and drive economic growth, helping London to achieve global renown for data impact. Within this Strategy, we have committed to - as a priority action - pushing for broad access to data across government departments e.g. HMRC and DWP) for London, to overcome issues which currently prevent further data sharing opportunities outside departmental silos and which stand in the way of value creation.
