Health Secretary Yvette Cooper has called the accessing of medical records of the Nottingham attacks victims and a man killed by a tiger a 'disgrace', saying she expects action including sackings and swift suspensions. Her comments follow the sacking of 15 staff at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and an investigation into potential breaches at Yorkshire Ambulance Service.
