keep health records private...

Sorry to start this blog on a downer but... I am appalled!
(see link below)
However can the possible sale of our Health records to third parties be justified?
I was still under the somewhat naive impression that we had to give express permission for details about our health to be disclosed.
For example - to a potential employer or insurer. ie to be assessed for our benefit.
How long before someone accidentally left another memory stick or disk on a bus or train; or simply emailed the lot to the wrong address?
What do you think? Are YOU happy about this?
Let me say this:
Regardless of whether I am elected as County Councillor for Shaftesbury on 4th June 2009, I WILL CAMPAIGN TO KEEP OUR MEDICAL RECORDS SAFE
