Errm Im no expert but we do have the freedom of information act. (FOIA), so I would think it would qualify under that as HMSO is a government organisation ? Of course you may need every user to submit there own FOIA request before using the app to make it legal, but if it helps diabetics and enough people submit a request (which is a pain to process), they will get the message and make it freely available (preferably in an open standard format and/or XML), well possibly.
