[Kbi-webcivics] health data for civil disputes?

[Timothy Holborn]

I recall changes to law somewhere in relation to the use of data for civil
disputes (vs precluding the use of data for such purposes).  i believe the
issue was something about divorce proceedings or some such over
simplification.

As health data stores evidence, and that these systems are also able to be
used to catalogue data provided by the patient - shouldn't that mean the
system can be used to sue the government where health records show that
there has been malfeasance / negligence, or other organised behaviour as to
cause injury?

equally; where, for instance, rape has occurred, but police have failed to
investigate.  Is it the case that police could in-turn be sued for
negligence?

is that a constituent of the 'proper purpose' provided by government?  the
ability to sue government for wrong-doings causing injury, by way of a
records system provided by them that improves the means of 'consumers' to
do so?
