Human rights group says concerns raised about State’s approach to disabled people

must publish the independent review into its practice of compiling dossiers on children with autism without their consent as soon as possible, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission has warned.

Chief commissioner Sinéad Gibney said on Tuesday the practice, as reported by RTÉ’s Primetime Investigates last week, raised “significant human rights concerns about the State’s approach to the privacy rights of citizens, patient confidentiality when dealing with public health and social care services, and, in particular, its fundamental approach to people with a disability and their families”.
