Government's Response to UK's Public Inquiry on National Data Policy Strategy
The UK government has received a multitude of comments in response to its open call for evidence on the National Data Strategy. The Centre for Data Innovation and the Open Data Institute (ODI) are among the organisations that have submitted their responses.
The National Data Strategy aims to support the private sector's use of data to increase productivity and improve public services, while fostering the use and power of data across government and the wider economy. Many comments express support for this aim, with some advocating for supporting the private sector's use of data to boost productivity.
The Centre for Data Innovation's response proposes improving public services through appropriate sharing and use of data within government, as well as supporting the private sector's use of data to increase productivity. Similarly, some comments recommend improving public services through the same means.
However, concerns about data privacy and security in the context of the National Data Strategy have also been raised. Some comments propose establishing clear guidelines for data governance to ensure trust in the data ecosystem.
Several comments suggest enhancing the strategy to promote data-driven innovations for all sectors. The Centre for Data Innovation's response also proposes promoting data-driven innovations for all. Furthermore, developing the skills required for the digital economy is another key aspect proposed by both the Centre for Data Innovation and several comments.
The ODI's response to the UK government's open invitation for contributions to the National Data Strategy project aligns with these sentiments, emphasising the importance of a trusted data ecosystem and the need to develop the skills necessary for the digital economy.
In addition, some comments propose developing the National Data Strategy to encourage collaboration between government and the private sector, with a focus on improving public services through the appropriate sharing and use of data.
In conclusion, the comments on the UK government's open call for evidence on the National Data Strategy provide diverse perspectives from various stakeholders. The common themes that emerge include the importance of data privacy, the need for data-driven innovations, the development of skills for the digital economy, and the fostering of collaboration between government and the private sector for the betterment of public services.
