I have two final questions. My first is open to whomever wishes to answer. Is the proposed Government legislation strong enough in situations where somebody is notified and information is passed on to somebody to whom it should not be passed on and there is a breach of the circumstances in which that notification should happen? Is that covered under data protection law? Do we need to strengthen this legislation to ensure when people receive notification they treat it properly, confidentially and with discretion?
