Councillor Toms Sharkey has hit out at the latest breach of patient privacy in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital . " Last week patients and their families received calls from management of Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital . The call was to apologise for the fact that personal files , found in a public place in Drogheda were handed in to LMFM radio station . I have been contacted by a small number of people affected by this . " One patient affected was an 84 year old woman . She was a patient in that hospital during the week up to 9th March . I have been given the name if the doctor whose care she was under . " The hospital manager made a verbal apology on behalf of the hospital and explained that the files must have blown out of the doctors hands while going to a car . " This is not acceptable for a number of reasons . Firstly , a patients details should not be taken from the hospital and secondly , if documents blow from your hands , it is assumed you would notice and retrieve them . " I am disappointed by this latest incident in the Lourdrs hospital . However I am not surprised . I have regularly raised my annoyance with the poor management culture in that hospital . Patients often complain to me of missing records , poor communication and ad hoc administration . " This latest incident is symptomatic of a poorlely managed hospital that suffers from poor accountability and mistrust " , added Cllr Sharkey . ;
