Recital 76

Member States should be able to designate trusted health data holders for which the data permit issuing procedure can be performed in a simplified manner, in order to alleviate the administrative burden for health data access bodies of managing requests for the data processed by them. Trusted health data holders should be allowed to assess the health data access applications submitted under this simplified procedure, based on their expertise in dealing with the type of health data they are processing, and issue a recommendation regarding a data permit. The health data access body should remain responsible for issuing the final data permit and should not be bound by the recommendation provided by the trusted health data holder. Health data intermediation entities should not be designated as trusted health data holders.
