The United Kingdom’s data watchdog is “assessing” reports that a staff member at a London hospital allegedly tried to access the private medical records of Catherine, Princess of Wales during her stay in January.
The Daily Mirror tabloid reports The London Clinic hospital, where the Princess of Wales spent 13 nights after planned abdominal surgery in January, had launched a probe into the allegations that her confidentiality had been breached. In a written statement to CNN, the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office, which is the UK’s independent regulator for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, confirmed it had “received a breach report and are assessing the information provided.
” Hospital staff alerted the palace immediately after discovering the alleged attempt and promised to carry out a full investigation, the Mirror adds. When asked by CNN, Kensington Palace said, “This is a matter for The London Clinic.” It’s unclear if London’s Metropolitan Police have been notified or if any criminal investigation is underway and CNN is waiting for details on its involvement, if any, on the matter.
