The Progressive Party is raising concerns about the transparency following yesterdays update on the cyber attack that struck the health care last fall.
Diamond said they were first notified on February 25. That’s causing concerns from interim, David Brazil.
He says government sat on the information over a month, and they haven’t done anything to assure people that safeguards have been put in place to to make sure that it does not happen again.
Brazil said that they are not asking for every detail as they understand some things need to be kept quiet. However, they want to know how the situation will affect people and preventive measures have been out in place.
Regarding the length of time which it took government to disclose the information, Dimond said is indicative of how the complex situation and how difficult it is to work through data bases of such magnitude.
Health Minister John Haggie said there may be some information that never be revealed.
He said there are some several information ongoing, including by the privacy commissioner, all will release public results in due time. However, he said that for security reasons, that there is some information that won’t be released.
