A missing package which contained the personal details of 200 people has been found.

The package, containing pension benefit statements, was lost after being sent from the Scottish Public Pensions Agency to NHS Greater Glasgow on October 26.

It contained names and National Insurance numbers, but no addresses or bank account details.

A Scottish Government statement today said the package, one of 162 sent by FedEx, was found at Stobhill Hospital, its intended destination.

A review is underway into data handling procedures within Government bodies.

Finance secretary John Swinney said: "We were always confident that the single missing package out of 162 would be found safely.

"The correct procedures were followed at all stages, enabling traceability checks to be successfully conducted.

"Even though the data contained no addresses or bank account details, we were right to take the issue seriously.

"The review of data handling issues will proceed, as we are very clear that the Scottish Government will deal with these important matters competently and effectively."

The incident followed Chancellor Alistair Darling's announcement to MPs that computer discs holding sensitive personal data on 25 million people had gone missing.

The Metropolitan Police are still hunting for the two child benefit discs containing names, addresses, dates of birth, National Insurance numbers and bank account details. The discs went missing in transit from a benefit office in Tyne and Wear, to the National Audit Office in London.

HM Revenue & Customs has admitted it is looking for another lost package containing six discs.

The package went missing in the post after being sent on October 10 from a tax credit office in Preston to its Whitehall HQ in London.
