Curious how the patient’s address, which is collected (presumably) to facilitate the actual care, is viewed? Or is the difference that one is consented to, and the other is not?

Good question. There isn't a clear description of services in the verdict, but from my knowledge of these services, there is typically a designated caregiver to a specific patient, so they directly coordinate a daily place of meeting without necessarily updating a general admin.

My security brain wonders what happens if the care giver goes missing? There isn’t a known location to begin a search and recording the location violates the patient’s privacy. Seems to be a safety issue?
