Perhaps they had to ask before being allowed to just go and get
it. Like access to medical records. They would need
authorisation, I would think!
As a mother I guess you would agree to it being available if need
"heaven forbid' for identification of a body.
During my complaint the Doctors concerned had to get my permission to
go and look at my files to respond - so one would think that the police
would also need permission.

Hi all, My understanding is that the body of Jayden
Leskey was identified using the DNA from his heel prick test.
Apparently the police can have access to the information in exceptional
cases. Makes you wonder about how else this information could be used
in the future doesn't it!
CHEERS, Julie Garratt
