Data protection commissioners ‘want to look wider’ into patient file breach

Posted on May 29, 2024 by Dissent

Cianan Brennan reports:

The Data Protection Commission has opened an investigation into the HSE after the personal files of patients were “compromised”.

Questions have been raised about “unsuitable locations” in which that data was stored.

A spokesperson for the commission said that the inquiry “concerns the storage and retention of personal data contained in paper records held by the HSE, via its use of external storage facilities, and breaches of security which were notified to the  Data Protection Commission by the HSE”.

“The breaches notified to the Data Protection Commission related to two specific locations which were accessed by unauthorised third parties, and the circulation of videos taken from these locations showing paper medical records located at these facilities,” they added.
