HEALTH: Medical Training Application Service website suspended following security breach

The Medical Training Application Service (MTAS), the Government's application website for junior doctors, has been taken offline due to concerns over security. The Department of Health says it has temporarily suspended the controversial new online application system covering recruitment across the entire NHS while it investigates allegations that registered applicants could access each others details. Earlier the Director General of IT for the NHS, Richard Granger, told a Commons Select Committee he wished he was running the junior doctors applications system, because then it "might not have gone wrong". But it seems there has also been a serious data protection breach on 'Connecting for Health', a website that Granger is responsible for.
