Hewitt faces storm over website leaks

Hewitt faces storm over website leaks - Telegraph

Extracts:

"Patricia Hewitt faced protests last night as the row over security breaches in an NHS website containing confidential information about junior doctors deepened.

The Department of Health was forced to suspend the site, which handles job applications from junior doctors, after the second security breach in 24 hours.

The Health Secretary came under fire after it emerged the junior doctors' leaders had warned her at the start of last month that the site was not secure."

"In a further twist, it also emerged that a security breakdown in the NHS's new national computer system, Connecting for Health, led to the names, addresses and mobile phone numbers of consultants and doctors who attended a meeting on the issue earlier this year being placed on the internet.

Dr Jo Hilborne, the chairman of the BMA Junior Doctors' Committee, said: "What little faith anyone had left in this system has evaporated."
