Saskatchewan’s Information and Privacy Commissioner found a privacy breach at **Dr.F.H.Wigmore Regional Hospital** in which an emergency department unit clerk inappropriately accessed their own and 98 others’ health records 102 times (Jul 2024–Jun 2025), and in at least two cases disclosed PHI to others. The decision criticizes delayed suspension of access, continued access after warning signs, and absence of proactive auditing ([decision](https://www.canlii.org/en/sk/skipc/doc/2026/2026canlii6767/2026canlii6767.html); [SwiftCurrenntOnline](https://www.swiftcurrentonline.com/articles/hospital-employee-snooped-in-98-patient-records-privacy-commissioner-finds)).
