More NHS workers are being dismissed after inappropriate access to medical records connected to the 2023 Nottingham attack. Multiple outlets report that additional staff have been sacked following an investigation into staff record-checking that was not properly authorised or linked to clinical care.
The reporting also says that, beyond dismissals, disciplinary action has been taken for other staff. Metro and Sky News cite a larger number of staff leaving the service, alongside final written warnings and additional first written warnings.
In parallel, Daily Mail reports an investigation involving NHS ambulance staff over whether they accessed or attempted to access medical records relating to a separate case—an incident involving a man mauled to death by a tiger at a Yorkshire zoo—described as connected to concerns over unauthorised record access. Outlets’ figures differ on the number sacked and the precise disciplinary breakdown, but they broadly agree that the issue involves unauthorised access to patient records and subsequent disciplinary outcomes.
