I understand that there was no personal information concerning members of the public involved where a loss of ICT equipment occurred from my Department. Procedures are in place to inform staff of the issues surrounding the management of confidential data via an acceptable usage policy for ICT facilities. As part of the 2008 business plan, my Department is undertaking a comprehensive review of ICT guidelines and security arrangements.
