If you thought that an individual(a nurse/doctor/health care asistant) within the NHS had breached your confidentiality then you would be as mad as hell...but yet you think that if the whole organisation does it, it is OK.

It isn't Ok, this information is sensitive and should not be available to anyone willy nilly.
Only certain people should have access to the information and those indiviuals should be traceable(as to what information was accessed, for what reason, date and time of the access, and the person who accessed the information).

Some large organisations have a very cavalier attitude to electronic data - its storage and its security.
I have read of memory sticks with data being lost, laptops with information being left on trains.
