Patient confidentiality and mental health: part 1.
Confidentiality has long been considered as particularly important in health-care practice in general and in mental health-care in particular. This is the first of two papers which explores the nature of the obligation of health-care confidentiality in law and it implications for those concerned with mental health care services. It explores how the obligation of confidentiality arises and whom it is owed to.
