Strategic Report
Business and •¢tivity review
The UK is in a unique position thank5 to the NHS and its cradle-tO-8rave records for 65 million people. Safe and
secure use of this data could improve treatments. deliver better health and care and save live5. however. it can
take years to find, access and 'wrangle' data from different plaos into a state that researchers can use for
analysis.
Health Oata Research UK is the national instilute for health data that includes England. Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland with a rnission to accelerate trustworthy data use to enable discoverie5 that improve people's
lives. Our 20-year vision is for large-scale data to benefit every interaction with patients. every clinical trial and
every biomedical discovery. and to transform publit health.
We work in partnership with the NHS. industry. charities and universities to realise the potential of the UK'S
wealth of health data in life-changing research. Patients and the public a￿ actively involved in shaping Health
Data Research UK'S work and ensuring it deliver5 public benefit.
We are a multi-dis¢iplinary, geographically distributed, UK-wide Institute of over Is￿ researchers across more
than 39 organisations. During the year. the Institute has engaged a broader UK and intreasingly global commvnitv
spanning the National Health Service INHSI. research institutes. industry. charities. government and regulators
with more than 500 organisations collaboraiing on programmes of health dala research initiated and enabled bv
the Institute.
Health Data Research UK'S strategy was significantty updated as part of the Institute's 5-year funding renewal
and the period from April 2023 through to March 2024 has seen Health Data Research UK delNering against its
three strategic goal5=
l. A¢celeraiin£ trustworthy data use by implementing a national research data strategy and assembling
infrastructure and service5 aligned to research and innovation needs.
2. Empowering researchers by valuing people with diverse perspectives and Skills, committed to open and
team science to advance scientbfic discoveries and deliver pattent and public benefit.
3. Promotin8 partnerships by building and maintaining critical partnerships. aligning incentives and
reducing complexity across a fragmented landscape to streamline health dota science.
Achievements and Performance
As an integral part of our strategy, five research driver programmes were kickstarted in late 2023 with the aim
io test and improve trustworthy health data infrastruciure forthe wider benefit of the research community. Each
programme has a focus on an area where data sctence has great potential to improve public health, prevent
people from becomin8 unwell, and enhance patient care-.
Bi8 Data lor Complex Disease is harnessing whole population. national linked health data to improve the
under5tandin& prevention and early diagnosis of cancer, cardiovascular conditions and other complex
diseases.
Inflammation and Immunity is seeking to better understand the epidemiology of allergic and respiratory
conditions across the UK and identify opportunities to reduce inequalities in care.
Molecules to Health Records is bringing together information on genomics. other molecular trait5, and.
electronic health records at scale.
Medicines in Acute and Chronic Care aimsto understand and transform the use of medicines for patients
of all aEes. especially those with complex care needs caused by multiple long-term condition5.

received £9.$ million in funding from the Medical Research Council IMRCI. the National Institute for Health and
Care Research INIHRI. the Ministry of Defence and Alzheimerfs Research UK.
In the same month Health Data Research UK launched the NEURii collaboration which aims to translate
healthcare data and digital sciences into project5 that can enhance the quality of life of people living With
dementia and contribute to a national data infrastructure in the UK. The two-year pilot will use high-quality. real-
world data alongside artificial intelligence IAII and machine learning IMLI to deliver projects that have the
potential to make a meaningful difference to patient5. lives while maintaining data securrty and public trust.
The early part of 2024 saw significant progress with two partnership discussions bearing fruit. In February Health
Data Research UK and the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) were invitetl by the Medical Research Council
IMRCI to develop a £20 million fundin8 proposal to create a Dementia Tria15 Acceleratorwhich complement5 the
work of the eovernment's Dementia Mission.
In August 2023, a UK Research and Innovation IUKRII report hi8hlighted the need for action to reach the target
of net-zero digital research infra5tructure5 by 2040. Dr Loic Lannelongue. Research Associate. University of
Cambridge and Prof Michael Inouye. University of Cambridge and Baker Heart and Oiabetes Research Institute,
developed an online calculator to help scientists easity estimate the carbon footprint of a computation. Thev
then developed GAHPC. a version of the calculator tailored to high-perfom)ance computing IHPCI
infrastructures. These open-source and open-actess tools have had approximately 200 users per week and to
Ilate has had 24,1KJO over811 Users from around the world. making it easier for thern to track their energy usage
and implement broader reporting of carbon footprints.
In October 2023 a new iniliative launched by Health Data Research UK (HDR UKI and funded by the Medical
Research Council IMRCI enabled Nineteen projects. each with the aim of improving the clarity and accessibility
of information about data access processes for the public and researchers. The Transparency Standards are
designed to support data custodrans in improving thè clarity and accessibility of information about data access
processes for the public and researchers. On 22 May 2024 we hosted a special in-person event in London to
celebrate the project outputs.
The UK Health Data Research Alliance marked five remarkable years of progress and commitment to maximising
the benefits of health data research for all. Over the past 5 years the alliance has Brown arbd diver5rfied its

Health Data Research UK enabled whole population-based research in England during the pandemic. A Trusted
Research Environment ITREI for England was created early in the pandemic with health data covering >54 million
people, thanks to a collaboration between NHS England and Health Data Research UK. This allowed the first
research study of health records for 67 million people in all four UK natKJns- published in the Lancet in January
2024. It looked at gaps in Covid-19 vaccine coverage and found that between a third and a half of the population5
of the four UK nations had not had the reeomrnended number of vaccinations and boosters by summer 2022.
The approach coultd be extended to many other areas of medicine with great potential for new discoveries in the
understanding and treatment of disease. This study marked a significant milestone in Health Data Research VK'5

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fulty in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 28. the trustees Iwho are a150
the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of
the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control
as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial Statements ihat are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the twstees are ￿spOnSible for assessing the charitable company's ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applitable, matters related to going Concern and using the going
Concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do $0.
Auditor'5 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial siatements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether (Jue to fraud or error. and to issue an auditols report that Includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuran￿. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Mtsstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in the ag8￿Bare. they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basi5 of these financial statement5.
Irregularities. including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedure5
in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to detect material misstatements in respert of irregularities.
26

HEALTH DATA RESEARCH UK

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 ￿RCH 2024
intluding fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detectin8 irregularitie5, including fraud is
detailed bek)w'.
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates. we identified
that the principal risk5 of non-compliance with laws and regulafions related to Charity and Company Law
applicable in England and Wale5. and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material
effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws ènd regulations that have a direct impact on
the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2(M)6 and the Charities Act 2011, and
consider other factors such as payroll tax and income tax.
We evaluated manaEemenV5 incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial
statements (including the risk of override of controls). and determined that the principal risks were related to
posting inappropriate journal entries to revenue and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit
procedures performed by the engagement team included=
Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities-
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-
tompliante with laws, regulation and fraud-
Evaluating managemenys contro15 designed to prevent and detect irregularities..
Identifying and testing journals using data analytics software: and
Challengin8 assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimate5
8ecause of the inherent limitations of an audit. the￿ is a risk that we will not detett all irre8vlarities, includin8
those leadtng to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk
increa5e5 the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of in5tantes of non-compliante.
The risk is also greater regarding trregularitres occurring due to fraud rather than error. as fraud invofves
intentional concealment, forgery, collusion. omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilitie5 for the audit of the firbancial statÈmÈnts is k)cated on the Fin3ncial
Reporting Council's web51te at.. www.frc.o
