NHS staff investigated over accessing of tiger victim's medical records

Yorkshire Ambulance Service has launched an investigation into staff who may have accessed a tiger attack victim's medical records without legitimate reason.

• Yorkshire Ambulance Service has launched an investigation into two members of staff over two possible instances of accessing or attempting to access incident/medical information about William Chapman's death.
• Chapman, 23, died from multiple traumatic injuries after climbing into the tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park; the park reopened on Friday after closing following the attack.
• The trust reported the potential breach to the Information Commissioner's Office and has informed Chapman's family of its investigation.
• An inquest opening on Thursday heard Chapman had schizophrenia and bouts of psychosis but was "highly functioning and independent with no care requirements."
