Canada: Veteran gets medical info of other members

HALIFAX - The Department of Defence has launched an investigation
after a former member of the Canadian Forces found sensitive health
and personal information about other military personnel in his medical
file.

Wayne Finn said he was stunned to discover everything from other
service members' social insurance numbers, blood test results, X-ray
reports to dates of birth mixed in with his military medical file.

The 49-year-old Nova Scotia man said he still has information
referring to about 20 people in his file, even after returning the
files of eight others to the base in Halifax where he was serving.
