X-ray report found in Penneys just one of 113 HSE data breaches revealed in report

An x-ray report found in a department store, a cancer patient’s chart left on the roof of a car before driving away, and a child’s mental-health records accidentally faxed to Bank of Ireland.

These were among 113 data-protection breaches involving sensitive personal information held by the Health Service Executive (HSE) in 2015, according to internal documents.

In April, a patient’s x-ray report with a sticker from another patient was discovered by staff in Penneys, Mullingar.
