A survivor of the Southport attack, Leanne Lucas, says she is “devastated” after it emerged that NHS staff accessed victims’ medical records without an apparent reason. Lucas said people “not involved” in her care “abused their position of trust” while she was most vulnerable. Sky News reports that 48 hospital workers inappropriately accessed the records of victims, and Lucas described feeling “horrified” at the news. The reports indicate the access was improper and that it related to the medical records of those affected by the attack. The accounts presented by the outlets focus on Lucas’s reaction and on the scale of record access, rather than the findings of any formal investigation or subsequent disciplinary outcomes. The coverage reflects her view that the individuals involved should not have accessed the information, and it highlights concerns about patient confidentiality and misuse of access rights within the NHS.
