Title: Labour hit by cancer leaflet row

Quote from: The Times
LABOUR has become embroiled in a row about the use of personal data after sending cancer patients alarmist mailshots saying their lives could be at risk under a Conservative government.

Cards addressed to sufferers by name warn that a Labour guarantee to see a cancer specialist within two weeks would be scrapped by the Tories. Labour claims the Conservatives would also do away with the right to be treated within 18 weeks.

Cancer patients who received the personalised cards, sent with a message from a breast cancer survivor praising her treatment under Labour, said they were ?disgusted and shocked?, and feared that the party may have had access to confidential health data.

Never too posh ~ even old Two Jags is saying he'll accept a peerage "But only because the wife wants to be Lady Prescott"

Utterly utterly disgusting, not only what sounds like a blatant breach of the data protection act but the sickening cynical use of the data to scare people with cancer into voting for them.

Shows just how safe our personal data is under Labour.  cussing:
