_ethe possibilities for a confidential drug service
330 _aThis article explores the exchange of personal information between agencies working with drug users and the "problems" created by confidentiality. Confidentiality may be conceptualised as a form of information privacy, which in turn derives from a wider idea of privacy. The authors take as a case study the "Wintercomfort Case", concerning a day centre for drug users in Cambridge. The focus is to look at the legal and practice implications of the case, and to examine in particular the tensions that exist between welfare and justice agencies who may have access to the same information, but who may also have different agendas and objectives in taking action.
