This morning.
A disclosure to RTÉ Investigates by a whistleblower who works at the Department of Health claims the department is secretly using information from private doctor consultations to build and maintain dossiers on children with autism who were involved in legal actions against the State.
Via RTÉ News:
The dossiers, which include the sensitive medical and educational information of children involved in long-dormant court cases, were built and maintained over a number of years by the Department of Health without the knowledge or consent of parents.
The work was done with the cooperation of the Health Service Executive and the Department of Education, and involves detailed information sourced directly from confidential consultations that the children and their families had with doctors and other professionals.
Meanwhile…
These updates record issues related to children named in the court proceedings, as well as their parents and siblings. They also record details such as marital breakdowns among parents and addictions in the home.
The information was shared and gathered with the goal of aiding the Department of Health with a background legal strategy, such as in determining when it would be a good time to approach parents to settle or withdraw their case.

What happened to doctor/patient confidentiality?
That’s fupping disgraceful
HSE, Dept Health, Dept Ed, Attorney General, Doctors, Other Professionals – thats quite a count.
Awaiting Cian’s take on this one.
everyone in DOH and HSE and any other public service involved in this should be terminated and prosecuted. doctors who handed over the confidential information should be struck off.
of course though this won’t happen
kinda takes the look off another Doctor sharing confidential information with another Healthcare organisation
youd wonder how much of this went on in leo VbadPr’s term as MOH
It’s a question that comes up every time there’s a HSE scandal that refers to a time during which Varadkar was Health Minister. Same with the Cervical Cancer scandal.
standard copy + paste reply almost
“Personally I have no recollection of being briefed on this” Varadkar says he found about the Department building the dossiers through the media, adding that he has no recollection of the practice during his time as minister.
That is a very conspiratorial viewpoint!
However, it’s totally right. The tanaiste is in trouble and the deep state* here knows that.
*(I am referring to the one described brilliantly by Eddie Hobbs on your YouTube podcast).
He is the poster boy for the new Ireland that certain unknown forces are trying to create. To have him resign in disgrace would be a setback so he must be protected at all costs. This takes some attention off him.
However, I can see this back firing. There are undoubtedly many nervous official’s worried that they might be the next sacrificial lambs so they might leak out Information that Finishes Varadkar off.
nah
Leo will ride this out
watch how Unity Poll starts to feature more and more in the next 6 months, and in the lead up to his twist as Taoiseach
far more egregious and damaging to the Irish Taxpayer and Citizen, and contrary to the best interests of the Country, IMO anyway
was Denis Naughten’s meeting and dining with the Granahan McCourt lads – mid Rural Broadband Tender
and that will be the sacrificial lamb here – he’s still blueshirt DNA, inherited from his daddy Liam
I reckon they’ll kick something off from that “auditors” report – build something up from the mutiple breaches (Conflict of Interest massacre), and Denis will take a suspension from the Dail, his seat is safe, but he can never sit around a Cabinet again, so something sexy in Europe
remember he’s not 50 yet folks
btw thinking of calling the Irish Deep State thing O’Anon
or BallymcAnon, as a regular slot
what d’ye think
Q’t Hoors?
‘He is the poster boy for the new Ireland that certain unknown forces are trying to create.’
Oh get bent, this is same old same old.
partly Nidgie
But Leo travels well outside Ireland
and that’s what’s really going on, and letting all the same old same old set see out their days with their tops up and benchmarked
come back to me in ten years – 2031
Irish Unity + Nobel for
jesus I can’t believe I’m saying it either
We’ve had rogues that charmed foreign leaders before, in fact we’re renowned for it. Anyway, I’m not arguing with you, it’s the conspiratorial tone above.
no conspiracy notions going around my head Nidgie
I’m telling ye, Leo Leaks will come to nothing
bitta short lived humble pie, will be the height of it
Absolute bastards.
+ soulless turds
Heads will roll…or there’ll be a lengthy and expensive investigation and no-one will be held accountable…and on and on it goes.
