Data minimisation in this context is referred to as **‘subsetting’**, where only health records that relate directly to the research question are made available to researchers. Subsetting entails matching a list of clinical codes (a 'codelist') with linked health datasets. The researcher is only given access to records that appear in both the codelist and the linked health dataset(s). This reduces disclosure risk and ensures the project's scope remains as approved by UK LLC's application process.
