title: NHS Staff 'free to talk to the press'.
abstract: Nurses are free to talk to the Press so long as they do not disclose information about individual patients. That at least seems to be the view of Health Minister Tony Newton. For the Minister was challenged about the Government's attitude to health workers talking to the media and threats of disciplinary measures. The threats followed the uproar over the 'Baby David' case when it was suggested doctors and hospital staff who commented on the case could be in trouble.
