Information Governance
NELA+ has secured approval from the Health Research Authority's Confidentiality Advisory Group for 'Support for Use of Patient Identifiable Information without Consent' (Section 251 of NHS Act 2006 and Health Service (Control of Patient Information) Regulations 2002) - CAG reference: CAG 5-07(d)/2013. NELA+ has received exemption from CAG from applying the National Data Opt-Out.
Our NELA+ Information Governance Procedures provide useful information to Caldicott Guardians in NHS Trusts and Health Boards.
Caldicott Guardian Information
All participating trusts have completed, signed and returned a 'Caldicott Guardian agreement form' confirming that Caldicott approval has been given to provide NELA+ with patient identifiable data.
