An inquiry has been initiated to investigate the security of children's health records at a Children's Health Ireland (CHI) facility in Tallaght. Concerns regarding unprotected access to a large number of records were raised. The Data Protection Commission (DPC) became aware of potential security issues through various sources, including protected disclosures and a breach notification from CHI. An unannounced site inspection was conducted on July 16 to assess compliance with GDPR obligations concerning personal data security and physical record management.
The inquiry will examine CHI's compliance with their GDPR obligations, particularly relating to the security of personal data and managing physical records at CHI (Tallaght).
The DPC became aware that there were potential issues at this site from protected disclosures and a breach notification submitted by CHI.
A large quantity of children's records were kept in a CHI facility room that was not locked and could be accessed by anyone.
The Data Protection Commission has announced the opening of an inquiry into Children's Health Ireland, regarding the physical safety and security of children's health records.
