Public Services Card bodies to discuss how best to approach Data Commissioner advice
A number of the bodies involved in the Public Services Card expansion have said they will be talking to the Department of Social Protection on how best to approach the Data Protection Commissioner's recent adverse ruling in relation to the card.
Last Friday the Commissioner Helen Dixon ruled that it is unlawful for the PSC to be used as an administrative tool for any State services other than welfare. She ordered the State to delete all the historical personal data held on the card’s 3.2 million holders.
