Harbottle Breach Compensation Claim

Harbottle GP Surgery Data Protection Breach

The NHS is accused of passing medical records on without the consent of patients following the closure of the Harbottle GP Surgery in Northumberland. This is another example of a serious data protection breach involving the NHS, and the victims of this misuse of private information may be entitled to claim compensation.

For hundreds of patients this has been conducted as an 'automatic transfer' despite no consent being given by the patients whose records have been moved. This can constitute as a breach of the Data Protection Act meaning the patients may be entitled to claim.

Medical records are private and confidential - they should only be shared or disclosed with your express consent.
