(update) 'No identity theft in Tallaght data breach'

Posted on November 8, 2011 by Dissent

Niall Hunter reports:

The Data Protection Commissioner has said no evidence has emerged of patient identity theft or the selling of patient data taking place as a result of a major medical data breach at Dublin’s Tallaght Hospital.

During the summer, the Commissioner started investigating a major data protection breach arising in relation to the outsourcing by Tallaght of the transcription of medical notes on patients to an Irish firm based in the Philippines.

The Commissioner’s office told irishhealth.com this week that as result of its investigation it was not aware that money was sought to access illegally the records concerned or of any issues of identity theft etc affecting any of the Tallaght patients whose records were used by the service.

However, the Commissioner says it is still investigating the situation regarding the outsourcing of patient data from other hospitals and individual consultants to the Philippines.
