"The pandemic has shown us the huge potential NHS data has to accelerate the development of new medicines and vaccines.

"The Data Saves Lives Strategy is a landmark moment, and a major step forward in harnessing that potential. For the strategy to be a success it is critical that we operate with complete transparency and engage the public in a meaningful way.

"That is why over the past 5 months we have consulted with the public, patients, and NHS on new principles which will underpin how our industry members use NHS data to drive research and transform lives."

The principles, due to be launched in the coming weeks, are designed to complement the already robust rules, regulations and guidelines already in place to ensure the safe and secure use of data for research purposes.Ìý
