There is or there have/has

we say: there are some people. Not there have some people.

The authority does not classify specific mental problems, so it has no data on the incidence of bipolar disorder.

(adopt from an article)

But why this article mentioned that it has no data instead of there is no data?

thanks

= The authority (an organization) does not classify specific mental problems, so that organization (=it) does not possess any data (=has no data) on the incidence of bipolar disorder.
