Mothers-to-be contacted after midwife loses diary

["Jon Turner" <jjturner () gmail com>]

Health bosses in Rochdale have apologised to hundreds of new and
expectant mothers after a midwife lost a diary containing their names
and addresses.
The Pennine Acute Trust wrote to 345 women in the area after a
community midwife lost her diary last week.

The hand-written diary covered her antenatal and postnatal
appointments between January and July 2008.

A trust spokesman said the diary contained patients' telephone numbers
and addresses but no medical information.
