British Hospital Leaders Claim Privacy Laws Hinder Police Search
British hospital bosses say privacy laws are preventing them from helping police solve the murder 41 years ago of a 13-year-old girl in South Yorkshire. New forensic evidence shows that her killer had gonorrhoea and may have been treated at Rotherham Hospital. But hospital bosses say NHS guidelines on sexually transmitted diseases prevent them naming possible suspects.
