NHS to suspend staff suspected of snooping on patient records www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... NHS England letter: Unauthorised, inappropriate and unjustifiable access to confidential patient information www.england.nhs.uk/publication/... #NHSdata #patientdata #dataprotection

NHS staff in England suspected of looking at patient records without a valid reason will be immediately suspended as part of a "zero-tolerance crackdown" on snooping.

Those under suspicion will also be locked out of NHS computer systems, preventing any further viewing of confidential records, including from home.

NHS England chief executive Sir Jim Mackey has written to every trust, ordering the measures to be introduced immediately to strengthen protection against data breaches.

I suspect this is also an under-discussed problem with social care case management systems used in local government – unauthorised or unnecessary access to records is only likely to be detected if logs are audited after a suspicion is raised
