PERSONAL records of almost 20,000 past and present NHS staff have been
lost, it emerged today.

The details are on four discs, which have been missing in the post
since the end of July.

The discs could be a goldmine for identity fraudsters as they contain
the names, dates of birth, national insurance numbers, work start
dates, pay details and sickness dates of all 17,990 staff who have
worked at The Whittington Hospital, Camden and Islington primary care
trusts or the Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust since April
2001.

More than 5,000 workers will find that their addresses are also on the discs.
