art_55__para_1

1. Member States shall designate one or more health data access bodies responsible for carrying out the tasks and obligations set out in Articles 57, 58 and 59. Member States may either establish one or more new public sector bodies or rely on existing public sector bodies or on internal services of public sector bodies that fulfil the conditions set out in this Article. The tasks set out in Article 57 may be distributed between different health data access bodies. Where a Member State designates several health data access bodies, it shall designate one health data access body to act as coordinator, with responsibility for coordinating tasks with the other health data access bodies both within the territory of that Member State and in other Member States. Each health data access body shall contribute to the consistent application of this Regulation throughout the Union. For that purpose, health data access bodies shall cooperate with each other, with the Commission and, for concerns regarding data protection, with the relevant supervisory authorities.
