		edent on March 5, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 2,000 NHS Security Vulnerabilities Disclosed We spoke to HSCIC who manage .nhs.uk. We also spoke to senior civil servants in the Department of Health. We also contacted people who were listed as the owners - but in many cases were no longer responsible for the sites. With some, we were able to contact the developers behind the sites. Others just didn't respond. Basically - no one in the NHS or DoH knows who manages the thousands of .nhs.uk websites. We did our best to contact individual site owners and, where that was impossible, alerted the government directly. Hope that clears it up.

Did you ever manage to get in touch with the breastmilk site? The campaign still seems to be active and has a Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/209991399039700/posts/6874106079644...

I was in contact with the people who claimed to be responsible. They were unable to find out who actually runs the site.
