: IKNL may only provide data from the NCR if it is used for scientific research or statistics (e.g., epidemiology). This has been contractually agreed with the hospitals that supply a large part of the NCR data. Anyone who wishes to use data for research purposes must submit a request for this. An independent committee—the NCR’s Supervisory Committee—then determines whether the data can be supplied. Patients are also among the members of this Committee. The data provided will be anonymous. This means that the researchers using the data will not know whose data it involves.
