Correction: Berlingske rectifies article regarding doctor’s concerns about PET access to children’s health data

Berlingske has issued a correction to a previous article published on October 31, 2025, concerning potential risks associated with the Police Intelligence Service’s (PET) access to children’s health data. The original article, titled “Doctor raises alarm: PET access to data on sick children can cost lives,” incorrectly stated that Minister of Justice Peter Hummelgaard declined to comment on the matter.

The article focused on concerns raised by doctor Thomas Birk Kristiansen, who warned that the transfer of extensive health information about children to PET could have serious consequences.

Berlingske now acknowledges that the statement regarding Minister Hummelgaard’s lack of comment was inaccurate. The correction addresses this specific point and aims to ensure the accuracy of the information presented to its readers.
