So, Sarah, can you tell us a little bit about your role at the HRB and some context to some of the key points from the strategy that you'll be working on? Yeah,
17:25
sure, Clare.
17:27
As Director of Health Information and Evidence, I have responsibility for two key areas within the HRB.
17:33
The health information function, which is managing for national health information systems in the areas of mental health, disability, drugs and alcohol treatment and drug related deaths.
17:46
So we're producing on an ongoing basis evidence.
17:50
information and data really to inform policy and practice in those key specialist areas.
17:57
Teresa's already I suppose mentioned what's happening at European level so not only are we wanting to drive that agenda but also as data holders where we sit in the HRB having best practice ensuring that we are fit for purpose so that our systems can be part of the broader health information infrastructure.
