I am thinking of the other type of individual, such as a doctor, and Mr. Woods is right that a doctor could have data that could be relevant to an individual that is involved in the commission of an offence, or a journalist. However, when it comes to the application, it is a matter for the district judge to consider the privilege, if any exists, that applies to those individuals.
