Nottingham attacks 'wouldn't have happened' if authorities had listened, says family of man killed months earlier
Monday, 17 March 2025 () It was a sunny morning in June 2023 as news broke that a major incident had been declared in Nottingham. As the hours went by it emerged three people had been stabbed.
The families of the Nottingham attack victims called claims that NHS staff illegally accessed their loved ones' medical records "sickening" and "inexcusable." Health minister Stephen Kinnock said protecting records is vital and promised government action if any breach occurred. Report by Covellm.
