Latest patient data fiasco highlights need for an NHS data protection czar

To be fair it was the latest fiasco when the report was written back in April this year. I was inspired to go and find it by an article in Bulletin (of the information and records management society) (Issue 168 (July 2012)) which I managed to read in the British Library yesterday.
I thought it was too “good” not to use – which assumes that we can see anything good in reading that “10 of the 30 major data breaches the ICO handles each month involve the NHS in one shape or another”.

Is the NHS overall the largest organisation in the UK?

Not three times as large as anyone else, surely.
