Confidential health records lost - BBC Health News 20th May 2008

Confidential health records of more than 38,000 patients have gone missing after a computer back-up tape was lost by a courier firm, an NHS trust said. The Isle of Wight's Sandown Health Centre sent its records to a specialist firm for its software to be checked. But the tape, containing records of patients dating back to July 1996, failed to arrive when it was sent back using courier firm City Link in March. The Isle of Wight NHS Primary Care Trust fears "it may be lost forever"
