I have received a request for
information from a local medical practice. They are requesting that we supply a
forwarding address for a gentleman that lives in our district who has moved from
the last known address they have on their records. The reason they require this
information is to contact the individual with regard to his medication and
appointments that he needs to attend.
This information is held by us for
the purpose of administering Council Tax.
I cannot see that any of the
exemptions under DPA cover providing information to a third party for medical
reasons, however providing this information to the practice is clearly of
benefit to the individual.
I would be grateful of any advice on
how to proceed
Many
thanks,
