Research publications, official statistics, but also many direct care applications depend on data linkage. Its importance is further amplified when considering privacy preserving principles that require to minimise the use of patients' personal identifiable information. Consequently, data linkage is initiated early in the data lifecycle, establishing a substantial **reliance of downstream applications on the quality of the linkage process**. -However, too often data linkage is seen as an exclusive software development and data engineering exercise instead of a modelling challenge, and there is not an appropriate level of quality assurance applied at the different stages of the process.
