Implementation date is 1st March 2000 - any new processing must comply
with the Act from that date. Processing that was underway before 24th
October 1998 is allowed transitionary periods to comply with it by set
dates e.g. After October 2001 individuals have the right of access
information held in manual files.

Data Protection Thought for the Week:
"When you obtain information from anyone be fair to them and make it

possible, who it will be passed on to."
