"An NHS trust has told patients that it is acting to improve its data handline practices after a rebuke from the 
Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
for losing a CD containing details on 1.6 million people.

Chief executive of NHS Kent and Medway Ann Sutton said that information is now more secure
following the implementation of encryption systems to replace the use of floppy discs and CDs."
