WINNIPEG The Manitoba Ombudsman has released a report about a privacy breach involving the health information of nearly 9,000 children. On Aug. 26, 2020, Children s Disability Services accidentally sent health information of 8,900 kids to around 100 services agencies and community advocates in an email. The documents included the children s names, gender, date of birth, address, their disability and medical assessments. The Ombudsman launched an investigation to review the breach. The investigation found the breach was unintentional and was due to human error. The agencies that received the information deleted it right away. The Ombudsman added the department took the right measures to respond to the breach but it didn t completely implement privacy policies and procedures.
