Also, although not directly relevant, it is in a similar area ... have a look at Jeanine's recent judgment regarding processing of data by the LGO - http://legalbeagles.info/forums/show...ment-Ombudsman ( basically, they can be held to account but it is not easy )

out of interest ... did this individual have a prior 'interest' in your well-being of any sort that the council would have been informed of??

Re: section of the 1998 Data Protection Act

The 'individual external to the council' may or may not be a person to which the council could share the information - it makes a big difference as to whether this is a person contracted by the council or your next door neighbour. Unless the context of who the person is is known then it can't be determined on here if it was possibly a breach of the DPA or not.
