Previous reviews
1997: Caldicott Report reviewed used of patient
identifiable data

confidentiality, known as ‘Caldicott principles’
o Led to creation of Caldicott Guardians in NHS
and social care organisations to ensure patient
confidentiality safeguarded
2013: Information Governance Review
o New Caldicott principle: duty to share
information can be as important as the duty to
protect confidentiality
o Called for culture change – everyone in system

Altruism and scepticism
o Little knowledge among general public about how data is used
o Benefits may be clear to experts – but not yet to public
o Our evidence shows that most people want to support their
data being used to improve care…
o …but transparency, security, and red lines matter
o …and people expect a choice
o Spectrum of opinion

Recommendations: NDG Data Security Standards
Ten new standards, grouped under three themes – people,
processes, technology
Key data security recommendation:
The leadership of every organisation should
demonstrate clear ownership and responsibility
for data security, just as it does for clinical and
financial management and accountability.
