The Data Access Request Service (DARS) provides clinicians, researchers and commissioners the data required to help improve NHS services. NHS Digital does this in line with the Data Access Service Process and holds Data Sharing Framework Contracts and Data Sharing Agreements. 1.1% of Data Controllers for the DARS have registered addresses outside of the United Kingdom.
