Two SA Health staff have been disciplined in the past three months for unauthorised access to patients’ records. It is understood the access was done in error rather than maliciously, which would have cost them their jobs. It follows three SA Health staff being sacked in the previous three months for snooping, bringing the tally to five people terminated for spying over the past year. SA Health now reports instances of people caught inappropriately accessing patient records each three months.
