Mr Horsfall said he believed his employer, the Central Australian Health Service , which is part of the NT Department of Health, illegally provided his information to the gym committee members.
"Clinicians at the Alice Springs emergency department have divulged my private presentations, specifically relating to mental health where I've sought treatment in my private time," he said.A spokesperson for CAHS said it could not comment on the case as Mr Horsfall was pursuing the matter through the courts.
Correspondence from the department to Mr Horsfall showed it denying any breaches of his confidentiality. "It has been determined that there is insufficient evidence to support your allegation of a privacy breach by Alice Springs Hospital," the department's manager of information and privacy wrote. But another letter addressing an alleged breach of workplace discipline from a senior manager to Mr Horsfall detailed 12 dot points relating to his behaviour while he was seeking treatment from the hospital as a patient.He said he believed management would often go into the private files of its employees if they"had a beef" with staff.
Keep calm, everybody, this is merely an isolated incident like the one yesterday, and the one last week, and that other the one the week prior.
The Police have been guilty of disclosing information to and for their friends and friends of friends for decades. It's a Power thing.
