good grief.
words actually fail me.
how can this ridiculous farce have got any worse? for those of you who haven't heard the latest blunder in this fiasco that calls itself MTAS is that the personal details of every single fifth year medical student in the country were available for all to see for at least 8 hours yesterday.
and i mean personal details. not only could anyone read their answers to the application form answers but their names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses could all be viewed. and that is to say nothing of their nationality, sexuality and conviction history.
imagine if a doctor breached the confidentiality of a single patient in this way. even if it was an accident. they would be struck of immediately, without question. so who will take responsibility for this disaster. this serious breach of confidentiality and right to privacy?
and all this has happened despite previous concerns about the security of the MTAS system and how many people were being given access to private and personal details of applicants across the country.
who knows who has managed to get their hands on this information.
patsy, when are you going to resign?
