Hi all One of our Departments is setting up a database which is to hold details of staff as well as an emergency contact number should they have an accident e.g. next-of-kin. Apparently an incident occurred and the person concerned was admitted to hospital but they cold not notify anyone as they had no number. To me it would seem fairly sensible to do this but there may be implications: 1. Should the person who is being named as the emergency contact be notified of this and should their consent be obtained? 2. A person could be separated and the spouse is notified - could this be wrongful disclosure? Anyone any views on this?
