Er...yes *slinks away in embarrassment*
In mitigation, (or is it self-condemnation?) I didn't read the OP very closely and didn't realise it was only an address sought!

Slight disagreement with Jonathan - they need to worry about schedule 3 - hopefully they thought about this before contacting you.
You only need schedule 2 grounds as an address is not sensitive pd.

"clearly of benefit to the individual"
Are you sure you're in a position to determine that? Why not seek his consent?
If for any reason you cannot gain his consent and the processing relates to the man's vital ("This condition only applies in cases of life or death" according to ICO), then condition 3, Schedule 3 could give legitimacy to it.

Subject: [data-protection] Sharing personal information with local medical practices
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,
