Two hospital workers in Toronto sold confidential maternity records to registered education savings plan salespeople for as much as $2.50 per newborn, documents filed in an Ontario Securities Commission case allege.
One former Toronto-area hospital clerk, Shaida Bandali, is alleged to have made $12,000 over two years by selling the information until traces of the sensitive records were found in the office photocopier’s memory.
OSC officials investigating the massive maternity ward privacy breach at the Rouge Valley Health System and the Scarborough Hospital have been filing documents in court over the past several months as they obtained search warrants to comb through bank records, personal computers, phone logs and hospital files.
The allegations have not been proven in court.
