Our position remains that practitioners must make decisions about the disclosure of confidential patient information to the police on a case-by-case basis and only when they are confident that the public interest served by disclosure outweighs the public interest served by protecting the confidentiality of the individual and the public interest served by providing a confidential service to the wider public.
