If you apply for information from the The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH), The Norwegian Directorate of Health, The Norwegian Cancer Registry, The Norwegian Medicines Agency and/or The National Archives of Norway, your application is processed by Helsedataservice. Helsedataservice will make a decision on release of the data. The data is made available to you directly from the data custodians
Case processing time
Processing time is regulated in the Norwegian Health Research Act § 19f (In Norwegian).
Health data is regulated to be made available within 30 working days of a complete application being received.
If your project involves linking data from multiple sources, the data custodians have a 60-working day deadline to provide access to the requested data.
The deadline may be postponed if special circumstances make it disproportionately difficult to meet the deadline. If so, you will receive a preliminary response stating the reason for the delay and when it is likely that the data will be made available.
