UK: Patients' Details Stolen in Hospital Computer Theft

Via the Daily Mail.

Computers containing patients' details have been stolen from a disused hospital site, health officials have said.

About 30 new computers were taken from a storeroom at the now-closed Lymington Infirmary in Lymington, Hants, earlier this month.

A Hampshire Primary Care Trust spokeswoman said the equipment did not have complete patient records on them but could contains details of names and addresses of those who had visited the site.
