Personnel absence and anonymous data caused delayed reporting of 244 Covid-19 cases at Mater Hospital

In The Mater, however, staff data is anonymised, according to the report, “to protect confidentiality and respect the dignity of the staff being tested”. Discussions took place internally on 20 April regarding this anonymised data in an attempt to resolve the issue of uploading them to CIDR. The PHD then asked the Mater to not upload any more cases until the issue of anonymised data had been fully resolved.
