Doreen,
One of my reactions is "and how are they going to get the health
information ?"
I seem to recall that ISD provide a data matching service at a national
level against health information. Since they are part and parcel of the
NHS, you don't get into the third party issue. They also don't need to
test anything !
I'm fairly certain this is the route we went when we set up our data
sharing stuff with Tayside NHS.

***** THIS EMAIL WAS SENT VIA THE INTERNET *****
All
One I have received this morning which makes me consider the rules....a
company are offering us data matching services (they wish to use about
300 names and addresses & dob from our SW database to match with
Health). Hey ho:
1. We shouldn't be using live data in a testing environment
2. Has he/she given their consent?
The above two reasons make me say no...but will the client eventually
benefit? The company only intend to use this data to see if they can
get a match and will then delete the data..Ok you might say. who will
know that this has been done.....but I do, and as a DP person have to
point out my concerns. The company would also have to sign a
Confidentiality Statement etc that they will not use the data but I
wlecome some thoughts from some of you who never say no.
