A joint Information Governance Information statement has been published from the HRA, CRN and R&D Forum for Organisations Participating in Research Studies. This sets out the existing processes for IG compliance, and describes how IG is assessed by dedicated staff, and assurances provided, as part of HRA and Health Care Research Wales (HCRW) Approval. It also introduces new plans to better achieve simple and consistent compliance with IG standards for research across the NHS.
