I was concerned by the item in the Observer yesterday "Milburn set to
outlaw unofficial NHS reports".
I have looked at the Section in question (Section 59 of the Health
and Social Care Bill).
I am not a lawyer so I might be misinterpreting this, but I am very
concerned about Clause 10(c) because of its potentially very wide
interpretation.
In addition, Clauses 4(c) and 12(a) appear to have potentially
serious consequences for patient confidentiality.
Have I got this wrong?
Can anyone help?
