It is not a breach as long as the MP has the patients consent, and the hospital
have verified that consent from the patient.

Can anyone point me to the relevant legislation for the scenario below (I
know I've read it somewhere !).
Patient complains to MP about medical treatment; MP contacts hospital.
Is it a breach of confidence to discuss facts with the MP.
Is patient consent required ?
