Research Data Scotland has gathered some introductory information on public sector data and how it is used in research, including information on how data is kept safe and made available for research.

This resource offers both a guide and video explaining how health data is gathered, stored, and used within the NHS.

This report was created as part of a cross-Government pilot programme to demonstrate how individuals with complex needs can be better supported by the Government through linking and improving data in a safe, secure and ethical way.
