Patient records are lost or inappropriately shared by the NHS an average of six times a day, according to new research from privacy pressure group Big Brother Watch. The organisation conducted a survey of NHS trusts across Britain and found there have been 7,255 reported breaches of data protection rules in three years. The data breaches included at least 50 cases of information relating to patients being posted on social media and 143 cases where NHS staff accessed private records for “personal reasons”. Wow.
