Understanding Society User Support

Hi,

I am interested in looking at some health related outcomes and possibly mental health related outcomes as part of a research study I am doing currently. Am I right in what I think I have understood from your website that consent for NHS data linkage from a large number of participants has taken place but NHS data linkage has not yet happened? Or is this a dataset I can request? If this is not yet possible, do you have an idea of the timescale? I would just like to plan my research accordingly, I completely understand that these things take time.

Thanks very much for your help,
Eleanor
