An unusual problem…that i cant find the answer to in the Data Protection Act.
I wish (the hospital i work for wishes) to copy a persons medical records…transfer it into digital form (pdf) burn it to a CD and give it to another agency (health insurance company) .
Im fairly certain it ought to be encrypted (or protected in some way)…but my boss says no…it doesnt …just do it.
Err…Im the IT manager..and i havent come across this scenario before…anyone point me to something “Official”.
To make the situation even more interesting…Im in GERMANY…so i will have to find a similar ruling in the Datenschutzgesetz.
Oh btw our data protection woman does what the boss says 
Hellllpppp!!! plz
