Bruyere health centre reports data breach

Patients at Bruyere Family Medicine Centre in Ottawa are being warned that
some of their personal information may have been on two computers that
were recently stolen.

Bruyere Continuing Care said in a statement that neither of the computers
contained any medical information, but said data for patients seen at the
clinic between 1971 and July 1, 2006 may be on the computers.

Personal data may include name, date of birth, street address, telephone
number or health card number. The data breach could affect up to 60,000
patients.
