The Access to Personal Files Act 1987 has been repealed. There's no meniton
of the 1989 Scottish legislation.

Subject: Social Work - Access to Files
Can you help - which legislation takes priority?
Access to Personal Files Act 1987
Access to Personal Files Act (Social Work) (Scotland)
Regulations 1989
Data Protection Act 1998.
My impression is that the Access to Personal Files Act takes precedence over
the DP Act?
