John Edwards: The positive side of intelligence breach stats
More trouble for the privacy sector after an intelligence agency staff member left sensitive information in a cafe bathroom.
The incident is one of 60 confirmed information breaches by 14 organisations since 2016.
Documents lost or left behind by DHB staff contained information on over 345 patients, including blood tests, details on mental health treatment and medication lists.
However, Privacy Commissioner John Edwards told Mike Hosking it's not necessarily a bad thing that there are these statistics.
"It's held up that they are taking note of these, that they are reporting them upwards, and they are taking the time to understand what happened, why, and what they need to do to stop it from happening again."
