I’ve just got round to reading yesterday’s blog post, on the Guardian’s Kable channel, regarding the pursuit of data breaches. Whilst absolutely necessary that breaches of private, personal and / or sensitive data should be admonished, I can’t help thinking that the statement will make public bodies and organisations (particularly the NHS, with the most breaches, according to the article) less inclined to further the Open Data cause.
I hope that the Commissioner will work with these organisations and not against them in making sure that we have good, relevant, non-sensitive and, above all, open data.
