Caroline Gammell reports in the Telegraph:
A computer disc containing the medical records of more than 38,000 NHS patients went missing when it was sent to a software company to be backed up – in case the records got lost.
The information, which dates back 10 years, was mislaid somewhere between London and Sandown Health Centre on the Isle of Wight.
It was given to courier company City Link in March, but the health centre only spotted it was missing in May.
