FURTHER SPENDING ON NHS DATABASE MUST BE HALTED PENDING INDEPENDENT SECURITY REVIEW - LAMB

6.55.00pm GMT Mon 24th Dec 2007

Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, Norman Lamb MP, has called on the Government to suspend any further spending on the NHS national database beyond existing contractual commitments, pending the publication of a full independent security review.

Norman Lamb said:

"The loss of hundreds of thousands of patient records, highlights the dangers of centralising patient data."

"If the Government is to restore faith in the national database, it must immediately institute a full independent security review with a commitment to publish its conclusions. Until then all further spending on the database should be halted."
