It will enable our lawyers to determine how any data sharing provisions in the Bill will interact with existing gateways and prohibitions, and whether the Bill will need to repeal or amend any of these.

If your organisation does not share personal data for any of the above purposes, but would like to share, please explain if this is due to any legal barriers (including lack of power), under common law (e.g. breach of confidence) or statutory restrictions or prohibitions. If there are specific statutory restrictions or prohibitions (other than under DPA or HRA), set out all of these and the policy justification for their amendment or removal. Where relevant, explain why your organisation has not repealed/amended these previously in your organisation’s own legislation.
