A West Lothian cancer patient had hit out after discovering his confidential medical records were ‘inappropriately’ accessed by a member of NHS Lothian staff amid a major data breach.
Martin Laing received a letter from the health board last week informing him of the incident, which is understood to have affected around 90 people.
The 57-year-old, who is suffering from leukaemia and pancreatic cancer, has spoken to Police Scotland - who are investigating - but feels he has been ‘left in the dark’ about the circumstances of the breach.
