Type
Enforcement notices

North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust has been ordered by the ICO to review its data protection policy after a file containing sensitive patient information was found at a bus stop.

It was one of a number of incidents over the last year which resulted in data being lost or disclosed without authorisation leading to an enforcement notice being issued to the Trust. Other incidents included letters, notes and reports containing patient data being sent to the wrong people.
