Tallaght Hospital to be investigated:

Data Protection Commissioner orders a formal investigation into Tallaght Hospital:

Over 4 years after ruling my complaint not valid the Commissioner now admits it's valid.

Quite perversely the notification of investigation informs me that "the investigation will endeavour to establish whether any contravention of the Acts occurred."

But the Commissioner has already told Tallaght Hospital that they did contravene the acts - My article 18th Aug 2016.

However -

So after over 4 years of my Rights being clearly denied to me, a fact that could only help those who have left me crippled for life, it's decided that my complaint was indeed valid [Without apology or explanation].

It has to be questioned why it has taken over 4 years to investigate what was clearly a valid complaint and why in the interim the Commissioner has treated me with such extreme discourtesy [Without apology or explanation], such as by ignoring the majority of my Emails, including - that Tallaght Hospital's data protection officer had ignored my formal complaints.

Of course it's not just a matter of illegally releasing my documents, but using the illegal release to disseminate false documents that would help a cover-up - false by virtue that later hospital documents were produce that contradict the earlier hospital documents that supported me.

The false documents are extremely important because they pass the blame onto me [from the hospital] for my crippled state.

Also my documents were accessed and released not by a doctor or for my treatment but by lay person[s] and that was personally instigated by Ms E. Hardiman.

The investigation must be wide ranging and cover the interval between my first complaint and the belated investigation - including all correspondence to Commissioner and that includes my complaint made 2 years ago regarding the illegal release of my medical records [proven to be falsified], a complaint that the Commissioner just ignored in order not to deal with it and that could only aid Tallaght Hospital's cover-up.

# I wrote directly to the Commissioner, Ms H. Dixon, regarding these two complaints but she completely ignored me.

Certain matters have already been settled [as shown in my previous articles] -

# Tallaght Hospital and in particular Ms E. Hardiman deliberately violated the Data Protection Act - as they were told by Commissioners in private conversations.

# Tallaght Hospital and in particular Ms E. Hardiman knew full well they needed my express permission and knew they did not have it.

# That my complaint made, over 4 years ago, to the Commissioner was in fact clearly valid.

# I have provided Mr John S. Keyes, Assistant Commissioner, the investigating officer, with a link to this article so that it will be taken into consideration.
