A council has apologised after it sent confidential information regarding a clients mental health to a man living in Lancashire . Bucks County Council was forced to send a courier 211 miles to Oldham to pick up the wrongly addressed letter at a cost of around 200 . The information contained sensitive details about a mans mental state . Its recipient , Stuart Potter , was actually awaiting a letter from Bucks County Council regarding his mother Joyce Potter , 84 , who lives in Stokenchurch . He says he feared that his mothers letter had also been mixed up and sent to someone else . Mr Potter said : To make matters worse I tried to speak to the person who wrote the letter and they never got back to me . It was only when I got in touch with the legal department that they did anything about it , and I still have nt had my mums report through . Mr Potter , who was served with a legal notice stating he must not divulge the contents of the leaked report , added : Throughout this whole situation they have not addressed my concerns at all , they have sent this courier at great expense and could have sent my report with him too I m still waiting . ;
