and I used to install desktop computers across three hospitals in the West Mids.

One day, while preparing new machines to take to the main wards, I came across a pile of CDs that seemed to contain medical records on, as it had a patient's name and DOB written on the CD.

The pile of CDs had a bit of paper sellotaped around it that said "for secure disposal" and then a date that was in 2002.

I got a photo of the CDs on my phone, but none of the actual CDs themselves. Random searches were threatened but never carried out, but you can never be too sure, eh?

It seems that the industries that hold our data still have a long way to go.

Anonymous Coward for obvious reasons.
