NHS Bournemouth and Poole says it's contacting people invited to health checks to explain how their details were used - after the Trust was found to have breached the Data Protection Act.

Contact information for thousands of patients was passed to private firm Enhanced Care Services so they could send the invites to those identified as at risk of heart disease - but the Trust insists that didn't include 'confidential or medical' data.

They have said sorry and told Fire News they welcome the guidance they've had from the Information Commissioner's Office.
