An NHS trust has launched an urgent investigation after concerns that the medical records of three-year-old Noah Woods were accessed without an authorised reason, with 10 staff members removed from direct active duty or suspended.
East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT) confirmed that Noah's records may have been viewed inappropriately, but said there is currently no confirmed explanation for why they were accessed. A trust spokesperson said the 10 employees had been removed from direct active duty or suspended while the investigation continues.
