Public dialogue on data sharing outside of the public sector in Scotland
The Scottish Government commissioned a public dialogue to explore the concept of public benefit, and specifically the extent to which data sharing outside of the public sector is in the public benefit. This report builds on the findings from the public dialogue on the use of data in Scotland.
