Commentary on Sections Part 9 – Health and adult social care services: information Functions: information systems Section 264 - Information Register
1444.This section requires the Information Centre to publish a register containing details of the information the Centre collects or may derive from a collection, for example, following analysis of the information. The register would also need to contain details from other information collections or analyses undertaken by other bodies that have been authorised by the Secretary of State or the NHS Commissioning Board. The record of information collected or analysed will be complementary to the record of all mandatory and other requests with which the Centre is obliged or decides to comply. Together these will provide a reference source for bodies seeking to obtain information on what information is collected and may already be available.
