Seriously?!
Look, I don't agree with this guy's opinion, and I do agree with the judge's decision that he should not have been disciplined for it, but is this not the same court system that just found two separate people in the last week or so guilty of various crimes because of posts on Facebook? Where was the "people on facebook can choose whether to read it or not" defense for them?
Is it that those two posted opinions that currently disagree with the government's views, and this one agreed?
This is becoming a scary trend...

Re: This is down to...
CD's never contain "images themselves" they contain files in a format that requires software to read them and generate images from them. In this instance, the NHS recognised that you probably wouldn't have the right software on hand, and supplied it without being asked, and ensured that it would run on a very high percentage of home computers. But because you run an OS that is in the vast minority, and couldn't find a way of getting to a computer running any other OS (really?) , you think someone in the system is failing...
Sorry, this storyis an example of the NHS getting it right, no need to turn your own failings on them.

Re: WTF
All of us have a right to copies of any of our own data less than ten years old held by anybody.
And the NHS have an obligation to maintain records for a certain period too.
Claiming that they DID maintain the records, but not a way to read them, is just finding a way around the law.
It may be "right" of him to let them off in this instance, ratehr than waste public funds, but he does have a "right" to the data too.

Re: You brits are a bunch of sissies
It's a good thing for you Spansies that they still have to follow European contract law too then, isn't it!
Regardless of what Ofcom, or the contract terms say, the definition of contract in law means that if anything in the contract changes, the contract has been terminated, and a new one offered. Technically, you don't have to accept the new one, and you don't really have to accept the termination of the old one either, the other party has to either honour the original contract or buy you out of it. You ARE within your rights to say "no thanks, and - as it was you that cancelled the contract, not me - thanks for this shiny new phone". Ignore the intimidation, stick to your rights, and these companies will stop trying it on. They only do it because 99% of people take it lying down.
