Details

In the government response to the Shakespeare Review of June 2013, the government sets out its aim to create a National Information Infrastructure (NII). Since then we have been developing a collaborative process for identifying this set of important data. This has included identifying and maintaining an inventory of data held by government, prioritising data to be included in the NII and supporting organisations to release data.

The NII will contain the data held by government which is likely to have the broadest and most significant economic and social impact if made available and accessible outside of government, where possible.

These NII datasets are provided as examples:

• Department for Transport data
• Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) data
• NHS Choices (part of HSCIC) data
• Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs data
