The question that never seems to be asked is why the information needed 
to be on a memory stick or other portable devices in the first place.

As a GP, my practice has just installed secure remote access ( from 
'Awayfrommydesk' which uses logmein with a few more bells & whistles for 
the NHS).

If the company consultant had a need for access outside the office, why 
not secure remote access? Or am I displaying my ignorance here?
