Pippa boardman said she lost dignity and privacy through data breach at royal Cornwall hospital in Truro. She lost her personal information by a man she barely knew who worked at the hospital. A hospital employee told her she had breast cancer.
Boardman is recovering well from the cancer. She said royal Cornwall's handling of the case reinforced her trauma. The trust apologised after reporters at the BBC contacted her.
Apologises to boardman for what happened and for time she has to wait for answers. Records must never be accessed for legitimate work-related reason.
