  "account": "Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) trust has dismissed 15 staff members for improperly accessing the medical records of victims from the June 13, 2023 attacks. The victims, Barnaby Webber, Grace O Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates, were stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane, who had paranoid schizophrenia. NUH trust confirmed 11 dismissals in May and then announced a total of 15 staff members dismissed as part of their investigation. Dr Manjeet Shehmar, medical director at NUH, stated that accessing patient records without a legitimate reason is unacceptable. The trust also issued final written warnings and two first warnings. Two cases were deemed without a case to answer and no action was taken. The trust said investigations into the surviving victims Wayne Birkett, Sharon Miller, and Marcin Gawronski were ongoing. The new system being implemented aims to protect patient records and alert the trust of potential breaches.",
