Anger as NHS patient records lost
 Computer discs containing patient details have gone missing. |
Hundreds of thousands of adults and children are thought to be affected.
Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley condemned the government for its "failure to protect the personal information which we provide".
The Department of Health says patients have been told and there is no evidence data has fallen into the wrong hands.
It follows losses of millions of child benefit claimant and driver details.

The Sunday Mirror reports that one of the breaches was thought to involve the loss of names and addresses of 160,000 children by City and Hackney Primary Care Trust, after a disc failed to arrive at an east London hospital.
