In the November issue of Data Protection Law & Policy, Valerie M Surgenor an
associate with MacRoberts Solicitors covered a piece on balancing better

She examines the failure of COATS initiative and the success of NOTIFY
initiative.
If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to email the article to them.
