JISCMail - DATA-PROTECTION Archives

Bedwyn GP Tim Ballard has apologised to a patient after he criticised her, saying staff time had been taken up answering requests she made under the Freedom of Information Act.

My experience Is that very few GPs know about Data Protection or Freedom of information. Even those who know about FOI tend to hate it and/or ignore it.
