Isle of Man: Information Commissioner extends stay period for Manx Care penalty due to compliance progress
The Information Commissioner announced, on 11 January 2023, that it had decided, on 5 January 2023, to issue a penalty variation notice, regarding the decision, from August 2022, to impose a fine of €170,500 on Manx Care Limited. In particular, the Information Commissioner explained that Manx Care had recently engaged constructively with the Information Commissioner and that the Information Commissioner is satisfied with the progress reported by Manx Care for the period between 27 November and 26 December 2022. Furthermore, the Information Commissioner noted that, although Manx Care has commenced the implementation of technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of patient data being distributed internally, there is still significant work to be completed.
However, given the progress that has been made, the Information Commissioner decided to extend the stay period for the penalty for a further three months from 31 December 2022 to 31 March 2023.
