How does the HDA differ from the Data Protection Authority (DPA)?

The HDA plays a key role in providing recommendations for enhancing the accessibility and structure of health data to make it FAIR. This focus on standardisation aims to prevent data source fragmentation. It's important to note that these responsibilities differ from those of the Data Protection Authority (DPA). The DPA handles breaches in data usage, and problems, incidents, and complaints can be reported to the DPA for processing and resolution.
