Unpublished GHS data can be made available to researchers, for a charge, if resources are available, and provided that confidentiality of informants is preserved. Any work based on the GHS data is the responsibility of the individuals concerned, but ONS should be given the opportunity to comment in advance on any report or paper using GHS data, whether prepared for publication or for a lecture, conference or seminar.

In addition, copies of GHS datasets are available for specific research projects, subject to similar conditions, through the Data Archive at the University of Essex.
