Fifteen NHS staff have been sacked after accessing records belonging to victims of the Nottingham attacks, in breaches condemned by the health secretary as a “disgrace”.
The staff members accessed NHS records connected to people affected by the attacks. The supplied information does not provide further details about the individuals involved, the records accessed or the circumstances of the breaches.
