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.

Official statistics are produced impartially and free from political influence.

From September 2023, these statistics include a second rail usage time series which excludes Elizabeth Line service (and other relevant services that have been replaced by the Elizabeth line) from both the travel week and its equivalent baseline week in 2019. This allows for a more meaningful like-for-like comparison of rail demand across the period because the effects of the Elizabeth Line on rail demand are removed. More information can be found in the methodology document.

The table below provides the reference of regular statistics collections published by DfT on these topics, with their last and upcoming publication dates.
