He said he was initially told investigators had found no evidence of a data breach, but questioned whether the correct time period had been examined. <\/p>\n
He said the unexpected visit left his wife distressed and vulnerable, adding: “She raised a concern that because she’s a female, her clothes might not be in the proper place and she wasn’t expecting any visitor at that point. She was a bit afraid. <\/p>\n
“She’s a practising Muslim and she was worried about her religion and all this stuff like that.” <\/p>\n
He added that after the healthcare worker returned for a second visit,”my wife says, please don’t come here without telling my husband.”<\/p>\n
Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Southmead Hospital, said it could not comment while its investigation was ongoing.<\/p>\n
Glyn Howells, Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) and managing director, said: “The trust takes confidentiality of patient information extremely seriously.<\/p>\n
“We are committed to ensuring patients’ records are only ever accessed where there is a legitimate need.<\/p>\n
“We are currently investigating this complaint, and it would be inappropriate to provide any further comment until our investigation is complete.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He said he was initially told investigators had found no evidence of a data breach, but questioned whether…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":747494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-747493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=747493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/747494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=747493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=747493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
