<p>As set out in the recently published guidance <em>Creating the right framework
to realise the benefits for patients and the NHS where data underpins innovation,</em>
the Centre of Expertise will offer support to those National Health Service organisations
seeking to understand whether proposed data arrangements meet the requirements set
out in the five guiding principles. The Centre of Expertise will sit in NHSX. The
requirement that terms are agreed which are fair to both an NHS organisation and the
wider NHS, is included to ensure, for example, that local NHS trusts consider arrangements
which can provide benefits to the whole NHS, not just to an individual trust. This
may include a NHS trust providing access to anonymised healthcare data for development
of a healthcare product in return for access at a reduced cost to that product for
the whole NHS, not just that particular trust. Fair terms should ensure that benefits
returned to NHS organisations and the NHS as a whole are commensurate with the outputs
that are generated by the data partner. The principles are intended to apply to all
NHS organisations at the primary, secondary and tertiary care levels, including national
NHS organisations. However, we will consider the inclusion of arm’s length bodies
as part of the next phase of work in developing a full policy framework.</p>
