In April 2025, the UK Government announced a landmark £600 million investment to establish a **Health Data Research Service (HDRS)** — a secure, single access point to NHS datasets in England. This initiative, backed by Wellcome and central to the Life Sciences Sector Plan, aims to address long-standing challenges in health data access for researchers.

eScience Lab is a [partner in TREvolution](https://esciencelab.org.uk/projects/trevolution/) with a particular focus on FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and transparent analysis of sensitive data and use of RO-Crate. We are joining this with our effort on the [federated analytics programme in Health Data Research UK](https://esciencelab.org.uk/projects/federated-analytics/), and the European architecture for trusted research environments in [EOSC-ENTRUST](https://esciencelab.org.uk/projects/eosc-entrust/).
