📋 Tender Overview
The government proposes an amendment to the Customer Data Act, i.e. the law on the processing of social and health care customer data. Healthcare professionals in the Uusimaa region would continue to have access to information relevant to patient safety while respecting the patient's data protection.
Until now, the disclosure of patient data has been regulated by temporary regulations.
Section 54 of the Customer Data Act would be amended in such a way that a regulation regarding the processing of patient data of the Uusimaa province would be added to it. In addition, section 25 subsection 4 of the Act on the organization of social care, health care and rescue operations in Uusimaa would be repealed, because the corresponding regulation is contained in the Customer Information Act.
In the Uusimaa region, the city of Helsinki and the four welfare regions are responsible for the organization of health and safety services, and the HUS corporation is also responsible for health care.
The laws are intended to enter into force on January 1, 2026.
