According to a report by Ian Dury of the Daily Mail  we quote:

“Bungling councils have lost or wrongly shared the sensitive personal information of tens of thousands of people, a damning report reveals today.

Officials breach data rules at least four times a day, often involving the confidential details – including medical records – of countless adults and children.

In one incident: Glasgow City Council was fined £150,000 following the theft of two un-encrypted laptops that held 20,143 names and addresses along with the bank details of more than 6,000 people”
