Sir Robert Chote emphasized that the potential of linking data across government departments could provide insights to enhance policymaking and public services.
Chote pointed out that the pandemic highlighted the urgent benefits of data sharing, allowing for targeted communication strategies that greatly improved vaccine uptake.
He warned that the current budget cuts and decreased willingness of people to respond to surveys make data collection increasingly challenging for the government.
Chote's examples illustrate that mindfully connecting data from various sources led to significant discoveries, such as preventing suicides among offenders with substance problems by improving treatment access.
