Appallingly poor information handling. DPA breaches are the order of the day here and the hospital ignored complaints. Several years ago, I instructed Kings to remove my phone number and not to contact me on that number again. The hospital swore blind they had removed it, but a couple of years later, i was informed they were still sending messages to that phone - which is now in some one else's possession. I was mortified. The hospital denied having done so. Fast forward to Jan 18 when i obtained definitive proof the hospital had NOT deleted my data and had in fact still been breaching the dpa by texting that number about my confidential medical appointments for all these years. I made a formal complaint on 4 JAN 18 - 5 MONTHS ON I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE and various chasers have been ignored. To add insult to injury, the hospital then breached the DPA yet again and needless to say, in 6 weeks I have received no response to a second complaint. I will now report both these breaches to the Information Commissioner as the hospital has no intention of providing a substantive response. This hospital is a disgrace, there is no accountability whatsoever and their absolute disdain for taxpaying patients could not be more obvious. Utterly disgraceful. The Care Opinion website has routinely blocked my reviews in this regard.
