Once consent has been given for patient data to be used in research, I
understand that the data subject can withdraw that consent at any time. This
being so, can the researcher still process the "old" data provided that it
is not processed with a view using it for future treatment of the individual
and that the individual is not likely to suffer "significant damage or
distress" as a result of the processing? Or, does this part of the research
data have to be completely desrtroyed, thus possibly affecting the outcome
of the research where small samples are involved?
