Brief Context

In March 2025, the Panel were provided a definition and scope of what Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI) is, in order to provide scope and context for their discussions. They first examined three case studies, reacting without prior knowledge or discussion, identifying issues and points of interest. Later the Panel revisited these case studies to assess if their views or feelings had changed following their deliberations and discussion activities to capture their perspective on use of Health and Social Care data based on common general themes from published works.
