NHS patient data breach could have big implications

The personal data of tens of thousands of NHS patients, including medical procedures and test results, was leaked, reportedly by PSL Print Management, a consultancy firm that processes sensitive patient letters for over 200 NHS organisations. The breach occurred after a disgruntled PSL employee was sent a memory stick containing the entire email server of the company. The incident could lead to criminal proceedings due to the sensitivity of the data and potential breaches of GDPR, experts said.
