Fifteen NHS employees have been dismissed for improperly accessing the medical records of victims from the Nottingham attacks, including Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar, and Ian Coates. Health Secretary Yvette Cooper condemned these breaches, emphasizing the need for respect for patient privacy within the NHS and confirming that investigations are ongoing.
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has reported these dismissals and is implementing a new system to prevent future breaches. The Information Commissioner's Office and local police have been informed, although no criminal investigation is currently underway.
