The UK government’s new Data Use and Access Bill aims to unlock the power of data to boost the economy, enhance public services, and streamline daily life. By enabling data sharing across sectors, the bill will save millions of hours for NHS and police staff, accelerating response times and improving outcomes.
Digital solutions, like the National Underground Asset Register, will enhance safety, reduce construction disruptions, and contribute to economic growth. The legislation emphasizes secure, effective data use, supporting a more efficient, digital public service system, while safeguarding personal information.
