Jel,
I was prompted by the MTAS debacle last week in which
applicants personal details including address, DOB and
sexual preference (why for God's sake do they ask
that?) were made available to the whole world. (See
The Times, Wednesday last and Doctors Net: forum >
Politics and Committees > MMC).
Also, Our local paper tells us an NHS trust a long way
from here kept its payroll and HR data in such a form
that when it was burgled last week, the media
containing this data was taken and is now in the hands
of persons of doubtful propriety! Lovely!
Its just too easy to make mistakes with databases.
