The Advisory Group for Data advises against expanding patient information access without public consultation, stressing the importance of transparency and engagement in the process.
The AGD believes that expansion of the NHS England Secure Analytics Service should only proceed once a communication and engagement plan is firmly in place.
OpenSAFELY, by allowing analytics directly within GP systems, successfully enhanced COVID-19 research without compromising sensitive patient data, demonstrating a model for responsible data usage.
The ongoing engagement and transparency proposed by NHS England must be prioritized to ensure public confidence before further legal adjustments for data access.
