Who are the Data Contoller and Data Processor

The Data Controller for CReST2 is Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The Data Processor for the primary CReST2 study is the University of Birmingham. University of Leeds is the Data Processor for Health Economics Analysis, which is derived from NHS England health record data received from NHS Digital.

NHS Digital: what data is being collected and why

We will collect some of your health data from NHS Digital records during the time you were in the CReST2 study. This data will include all visits to hospital during that time and will be analysed by our heath economist team at University of Leeds. This analysis will allow us to answer whether covered stents are more cost-effective than uncovered stents.

Who will be reviewing my data

The data collected from you during your time involved with CReST2 will be reviewed by statisticians based at the University of Birmingham Clinical Trials Unit.

Data collected from NHS Digital will be analysed by a health economics team based at the University of Leeds. No data that could be used to identify you will be seen by the team at University of Leeds.
