Dear Alex,
NHS digital has a large backlog of applications for data and so we are still waiting for ours to be processed. I’m sorry I can’t give you a timescale for availability at the moment but the Scottish and Welsh data is progressing more quickly than the English data.
Best wishes,

Subject: RE: [Understanding Society User Support - Support #845] (Feedback) Linkage of Understanding Society to Hospital Episodes Statistics
To: "info@understandingsociety.ac.uk" <info@understandingsociety.ac.uk>
Dear Stephanie,
Thank you very much for your response. I understand you can't give me any exact timescales, but is there any chance you could give me a ballpark date based on your correspondence with NHS Digital? (e.g. Summer 2019).
Thanks again,
Alex
Dear Alex,
I'm sorry to say we do not have a ballpark date. Progress has been halted on so many occasions, often at the last stages, that we simply do not know. Once we have principal agreement to link the data we will have to process the data so they can be used by other researchers. That, too, will take time and it may not be possible to do it promptly depending on the timing of linkage and its quality. We by now have more than 7 waves of data to link so it is a very data intense process.
Best wishes,
