Dutch demissionary cabinet want to use hospital DNA for justice department – via Privacy Barometer

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/01

Unbelievable: the demissionary cabinet in The Netherlands (which is only supposed to handle non-controversial matters as a new cabinet is being formed because of the election results) plans to use DNA stored in hospitals under the doctor-patient privilege for justice department use.

Even DNA materials stored in the past will be under the new proposed legislation.

Demissionair minister Schippers van Volksgezondheid (VVD) wil dat gegevens over afgenomen lichaamsmateriaal in de zorg beschikbaar komen voor politie en justitie. Ook in het verleden afgestaan materiaal valt hieronder. Patiënten wordt daarbij niet om toestemming gevraagd.
