Not necessarily - public health could be at risk so
local Environmental Health dept may be a rlevant authority and may need

Subject: [data-protection] Notifiable illnesses
Dear all,
Does anyone know the exemption that would apply in respect of a 3rd
party
request from a relevant authority, seeking access to personal data
because
it was believed the data subject had contracted a notifiable disease.
Thanks,
Gerry.
