HC Deb 13 July 1988 vol 137 c282W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he intends to take against those health authorities which break patients' confidentiality, by passing on information to private health companies and other organisations.

Mrs. Currie

I am not aware of any such breaches of confidentiality by health authorities, but if the hon. Member has details of specific examples I would be happy to have inquiries made.
