The NHS Commissioning Board is subject to a legal obligation to publish guidance on information sharing. Best clinical practice would be to share information appropriately with all who have a 'need to know'.
It may also be helpful to explain that an independent panel of experts chaired by Dame Fiona Caldicott is conducting a review of information governance on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health, the right hon. Member for South Cambridgeshire (Mr Lansley). The Review Panel will report its findings and make recommendations to the Secretary of State for Health. The review is considering the sharing of information with third parties. One of the topic areas is the communication of patient information between consultants and medical staff (and social care staff) and next of kin, representatives or carers.
