SAINT JOHN, N.B. --
An employee at the Charlotte County Hospital in St. Stephen, N.B. has been dismissed after they "inappropriately accessed" the personal health information of 1,251 people.
The Horizon Health Network is calling it a "significant privacy breach."
The health authority hasn't confirmed the period of time the breaches occurred.
"As part of Horizon's investigation into this matter, we believe there is no evidence to suggest any health information was shared with anyone else," said Margaret Melanson, Horizon's vice-president of Quality and Patient-Centred Care, in a written statement to CTV on Wednesday.
Horizon isn't confirming any other details about the dismissed employee to CTV, but letters have been mailed to the people who had their information accessed.
