Aneurin Bevan Health Board is first NHS organisation to receive a financial penalty from the Information Commissioner’s Office for a serious breach of the Data Protection Act. A report containing sensitive information about a patient’s health was sent to a former patient with a similar name in March 2011. An ICO investigation found that data protection training was lacking for both clinical and secretarial staff at the organisation. ABHB has signed an undertaking to ensure that all staff are trained on the organisation’s policies on storage and use of personal data.”]
