Regulators have opened an investigation into two Health Service Executive (HSE) data breaches after videos posted online showed people accessing medical records which were supposed to be in secure hospital storage.

The inquiry by the Data Protection Commission (DPC) comes after the HSE notified it of incidents last year at a Dublin hospital and at a building in the old St Conal’s psychiatric hospital in Letterkenny, Co Donegal.

The DPC is the national supervisor responsible for enforcing data privacy law.

The Dublin incident in October was livestreamed online, it is understood. In the Letterkenny incident in November, a TikTok video showed people going through boxes of historical medical files.
