Data Sharing and Governance Act 2019 |
4 March, 2019 |
Certain provisions of the Act were commenced by S.I. 189/2019, including parts 1 and 5, sections 9-12 and most of parts 6 and 10. It was originally planned to commence chapters 1.3 and part 9 of the Act to facilitate the establishment of the Data Governance Board with remaining provisions of the Act to be commenced in full thereafter. However, following extensive consultation with the Attorney General’s Office, it is now planned to commence the remaining provisions of the Act in a manner that will ensure a smooth transition for public bodies who may need to prepare data sharing agreements under the legislation. It is planned to commence the remaining sections of the Act as soon as is practicable. |
