More NHS staff sacked over attacks victims' records
Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates were stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane
Further members of staff have been sacked by an NHS trust for inappropriately accessing medical records of the Nottingham attacks victims.
Nottingham students Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar, and grandfather Ian Coates, were stabbed to death on 13 June 2023 by Valdo Calocane, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2020.
In May, Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust confirmed it had dismissed 11 members of staff and, in an update on Friday, said a total of 15 people had now been sacked as part of its investigation.
The families of Barnaby, Grace and Ian previously welcomed the action taken by the trust but called the development in May a "kick in the teeth".
Dr Manjeet Shehmar, medical director at NUH, said: "There is simply no excuse for accessing the records of a patient without a legitimate reason and I hope this sends a really clear message – we will investigate and we will take action.
"To lose a loved one in the way that the families of Ian, Grace and Barnaby have is heartbreaking enough.
"I am so sorry that they have had this further compounded by the actions of these staff members."
Valdo Calocane is currently serving an indefinite hospital order in a high security facility
As well as the dismissals, NUH said 15 final written warnings and two first written warnings have also been issued in total.
