A former healthcare worker has been cautioned after allegedly attempting to access and sell confidential medical information belonging to Catherine, Princess of Wales, in a case that has triggered renewed scrutiny of hospital data security and patient privacy.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) launched a criminal investigation in March 2024 after reports emerged that a member of staff at the London Clinic attempted to access the Princess's medical notes while she was receiving treatment for abdominal surgery earlier that year.
