The MTAS debacle continues
The Government spokesman was not in a position to commentIll thought out, rushed, incompetent, uncaring, irresponsible…I could go on as I try to encapsulate the failings of MTAS. But tonight I put the thesaurus away, for tonight MTAS moves into burlesque.
Someone left the computer on and forgot to set a password.
As a result, as Channel 4 revealed earlier this evening, all the details of final year medical students applying for hospital jobs were accessible by the general public. We are not just talking names and address. We are talking everything.
Not only can we see what they wrote in their applications; their addresses; their phone numbers; who their referees are. We can also see if there were white, heterosexual, gay Asian, Christian, Jewish or Hindu, and we can also see if they have got police records and what the crime was. (Channel 4)Remedy UK is the organisation formed to protect the hospital doctors' rights. It goes from strength to strength.
"I'm absolutely gob-smacked, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm not going to be able to laugh because it's so serious. After I've scraped my jaw up off the floor I'll say that I'm not really surprised - it's a level of ineptitude that has characterised this whole procecss. It takes the concept of a botched IT job just to a new dimension." (Matt Jameson-Evans, Remedy UK)No Minister was available for interview tonight. Instead they issued this statement:
"We apologise to any applicants whose details have been improperly accessed. This URL was made available to a strictly limited number of people making checks as part of the employment process. (Anonymous DoH spokesperson)Where is Hewitt? Where is Hunt? Where is Flint? Where is dear old Andy Burnham? They are all deep in the bunker.
This has affected first year junior doctors - hundreds and hundreds of them. Whose sexual orientation, whose mobile telephone numbers, home addresses, etc have been left wide open for anybody knowing the URL. Experts say the level of data included in the applications makes it a gold mine for identity theft and fraud. It is also likely to be a breach of the data protection act and could lead to criminal charges. (Channel 4)The full report, including the video of the Channel 4 news program can be seen here.
