Story summary

The Yorkshire Ambulance Trust, part of the National Health Service (NHS), is investigating two staffers who accessed the medical records of William Chapman, a former child actor, without a legitimate reason following his fatal mauling by a tiger at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park on October 10. The breach occurred shortly after news reports surfaced about the incident, and the UK’s Information Commissioner's Office was notified. A full investigation is expected to occur in March. Health Secretary Yvette Cooper has called for staff found guilty of such breaches to be sacked, describing it as a "total disgrace." Earlier this year, similar incidents involving inappropriate access to medical records occurred at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH), leading to the dismissal of 15 members of staff following breaches related to the Valdo Calocane murders in Southport and Nottingham.
