Hamilton Paramedic Service disclosed that, over four years, some paramedics accidentally sent patient records to the wrong hospitals; an external hospital’s alert in late October triggered an internal review. After auditing 306,000 records, the service found 162 patients were affected, with no evidence that any personal information was made publicly available ([source](https://www.chch.com/hamiltons-paramedic-service-mistakenly-sent-patient-info-to-wrong-hospitals/)).
