Good morning all
An NHS organisation I support has recently been audited for GDPR compliance.
One area in which the auditors thought there was an issue was in the processing of SAR’s. They would like the DPO to have sign-off of all SAR’s both internal from staff and external from patients. The organisation receives relatively few SAR’s. The DPO is happy to this.
My view is that the DPO should not be part of the SAR process, it compromises her ability to act independently as she becomes part of the process. There is also a side issue of her being non-clinical yet signing off patient SAR’s.
I have asked the auditors to look at this again.
Is this an issue or have I just misjudged the role of the DPO
Regards
Chris
