Thank you for your request to Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Trust regarding Storing and Sharing of Sensitive Data.
The Trust’s Information Governance Manager has responded.

It clarifies legal obligations that apply to NHS records including responsibilities to ensure compliance with the following acts:
- The Data Protection Act 1998

The file formats we use in the Trust are Health Records (paper) and Patient Administration System (electronic).
