Health Secretary Yvette Cooper calls NHS snooping on Nottingham attack victims' records a 'disgrace' after 15 staff were sacked

Cooper told Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg she expects action against any staff who breach NHS privacy standards. She also condemned possible breaches at Yorkshire Ambulance Service, where tiger victim William Chapman's records may have been accessed. Nottingham University Hospitals has issued 15 final written warnings on top of the sackings. Barnaby Webber's mother, Emma, claims as many as 150 staff were involved.

Grace O'Malley-Kumar's father, Dr Sanjoy Kumar, blamed 'voyeuristic people in the NHS'.

Emma Webber said the breach surfaced only 'because we insisted upon it'.

Records of survivors Wayne Birkett, Sharon Miller and Marcin Gawronski are also under investigation.
