HDR UK published a Green Paper in Autumn 2021 around standards for Data Use Registers and have
subsequently launched the Data Use Register on the HDR UK Innovation Gateway.
Through the recommendations in the Green Paper and the establishment of the Register HDR UK aim to:
- Improve transparency in the use of health data for research and innovation.
- Demonstrate the value and benefit of using health data.
- Develop a culture of openness amongst data custodians and researchers.
- Generate better insight into health data usage.
- Build public trust and advocacy for data use.
The Honest Broker Service COVID-19 related projects were published on the Data Use Register in
2021/22, and in 2022/23 the HBS added the back series of projects that we have been supporting since
the introduction of the Service in 2014.
