THE Data Protection Commission has fined the HSE over €600,000 due to mismanagement of historical records at St Loman’s Hospital and St Conal’s Hospital. The fine follows an inquiry that revealed significant deficiencies in records management, including issues with data retention, security controls, and breach reporting, leading to violations of GDPR. The DPC highlighted that personal data was retained for excessively long periods without adequate protection, and breaches were not reported appropriately.
