Privacy breach: Hospital sends N.B. woman strangers' confidential info

Last Updated Thursday, May 23, 2019 9:27PM ADT

Frustrated with Horizon Health’s slow response, her daughter took to social media to help find the intended recipients. But she doesn't live in the city, or drive. Godin says Horizon Health also suggested bringing the items to the local health centre or putting the letters in a cab. CTV News contacted Horizon Health requesting an interview. In a statement, they admitted a privacy breach had occurred and they were investigating as to how it happened. They say the letters have been returned intact and unopened and that no personal medical information has been shared.
