  • Open Letter to the ICO, Cmos and UK Data Providers: Reducing Barriers to Data Access for Research in the Public Interest – Lessons from COVID-19
    Open letter to the ICO, CMOs and UK data providers: Reducing barriers to data access for research in the public interest – lessons from COVID-19 Dear Ms Elizabeth Denham CBE, Prof Sir Chris Whitty, Dr Frank Atherton, Dr Gregor Smith, Dr Michael McBride, Ms Sarah Wilkinson, Rt Hon. Gavin Williamson MP, Sir Ian Diamond, Prof David Ford, Prof Kerina Jones, Prof Ronan Lyons, Ms Siobhan Carey CBE, Mr Roger Halliday, Mr Frank Hester OBE, Dr Janet Valentine, and Mr Duncan Selbie, Letter sent by email on 6th July 2020 The COVID-19 outbreak has sparked increased awareness of the importance of timely, system-wide data for examining trends and modelling different scenarios to inform policy response.1-5 The scale and speed of data access and use has been unprecedented in public health history. Pre-print articles sharing results before peer review have proliferated (with implications for research quality6 7) and over 500 vaccine and treatment clinical trials have been initiated in record time.8 The entire economy of knowledge production related to COVID-19 has been accelerated, with the understanding that, if we wait for perfect information before acting, we will be too late. COVID-19 is providing valuable lessons on improving data access and the importance of using data for efficient and effective service response. This situation contrasts sharply with the cumbersome processes usually faced by researchers using administrative (or routinely-collected) health data to inform policy-making on other topics, resulting from systems that are not purpose-built for research and summarised by four key obstacles. First, the cost of using administrative data is prohibitive.
