NHS Trust Probes Alleged Illegal Access to Attack Victims' Medical Records

Families of victims call unauthorized access 'sickening' as trust and police launch investigations into privacy breaches.

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is investigating claims that staff accessed medical records of the June 2023 attack victims without authorization.
The families of victims Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar, and Ian Coates described the alleged breaches as gross invasions of privacy.
The breaches reportedly involve accessing sensitive A&E notes shortly after the attacks, with a senior staff member flagging the issue to hospital leadership.
The families have faced ongoing privacy violations across multiple agencies, including police, courts, and prison services, prompting demands for accountability.
A judge-led public inquiry into the events surrounding the attacks and subsequent failures is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
