Dear Ms Edgar,

Thank you for your email dated 26 June 2025. Please find below
information provided by the subject department at Hospital Authority (HA)
Head Office:

The provision of the information you requested would involve retrieval,
standardisation, verification and compilation of raw data. Staff in the
departments concerned in the HA Head Office and hospitals would have to be
diverted from their core duties and other more urgent work, which would
affect the execution of the HA’s proper functions.

You may wish to know that for academic research, the HA has in place a
mechanism and standard procedures for handling external data request
applications. [[1]Standard Procedures] and [[2]Personal Information
Collection Statement (PICS)] are applicable to all data request
applications. For details, please visit
[3]http://www3.ha.org.hk/data/Provision/Ind.... In brief, there are two
options under the current mechanism, namely Option A and Option B with
details as follows:

Option A: Expedited Approach

There are five pre-defined datasets on the utilisation of different HA
core services that the requestor can choose from, each with specific data
measures and well-defined classification variables. The output is a set of
aggregate summary count data on specific measures analysed by detailed
classification variables. The turnaround time would be shorter, and the
charge for processing the request (HK$15,000 or above, depending on the
data selection and specification) would be lower as compared to Option B.

Option B: Customised Approach

The customised approach is applicable if the requestor requires
patient-based records or aggregate data other than those covered by Option
A. In the case where the application is accepted by the HA, a charge will
be imposed on the requestor for the provision of data which are customised
according to the research protocol (HK$60,000 or above, depending on the
complexity of the request), calculated based on the agreed data
requirements and resources required for generating the customised
dataset(s).

The requestor (Note) ^ will need to submit the following documents by
email to the Central Panel on Administrative Assessment of External Data
Requests at [4][email address]:

• Project Information Sheet (if opt for Option A) or research protocol
(if opt for Option B);
• Completed Data Request Application Form (Form A or B) in WORD format
to spell out the data specifications and their relevance to the
requestor’s research; and
• Documentary proof of research ethics approval (applicable only to
requests for patient-based records).

Note: The principal investigator (PI) of the research must be employed by
a local institution, including: (a) universities; (b) Government
bureaux/departments; and (c) non-commercial organisations according to the
list of charitable institutions or trusts of a public character, which are
exempt from tax under section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance.

We hope the above information is helpful.
