The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that a former hospital employee who sold maternity-ward records to investment companies has been sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay $45,000 in fines. The Globe's Janet McFarland writes Shaida Bandali, a former file clerk at the Rouge Valley Centenary Hospital in Toronto, pleaded guilty to breaching confidentiality rules. Justice Kathleen Caldwell of the Ontario Superior Court imposed a $36,000 fine during a sentencing hearing on Monday plus another $9,000 victim surcharge. She also ordered Ms. Bandali to do 300 hours of community-service work. Justice Caldwell said the fine "reflects the seriousness of the breach-of-trust component and the vulnerability of the victims." Ms. Bandali was the first person charged by the Ontario Securities Commission last year in a case that has exposed a massive privacy breach at the hospital, where information on as many as 8,300 patients was sold to registered education savings plan (RESP) dealers. Charges are still outstanding against five other people accused of involvement in buying or selling names, including three people who worked in the investment sector. The OSC asked for a 90-day jail term.
