Our role-specific priorities A more coordinated approach to surveys PHE requires information from surveys to plan and monitor progress in improving healthy lifestyles. We utilise many existing surveys from NHSE along with a number of other different surveys and need to ensure that there is a coordinated and consistent approach System-wide pseudonymisation To align with the Caldicott Report and also help address some of the basic data linkage requirements of Local Authorities and CCGs/CSUs that underlie the more problematic demands for patient identifiable data 6Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer

Identify, plan, but most of all, deliver…. As public sector organisations, IP, technology, methodologies and data should be freely shared between organisations (although value added services may come at cost). Collaboration is critical, but this depends on absolute clarity on roles, purpose and contribution We need a strong, collective, common overall framework by which we identify, prioritise, commission, deliver and hold to account 7Presentation title - edit in Header and Footer
