According to multiple reports, Valdo Calocane was responsible for the killings while suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. He had been under the care of Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust but was discharged nine months before the attack due to a lack of engagement with his treatment plan.
The trust has informed both Nottinghamshire Police and the Information Commissioner's Office about these disciplinary actions, as reported by BBC. Families of the victims have expressed outrage over the breach. Emma Webber, Barnaby’s mother, stated that up to 150 staff members may have accessed the records without authorization.
Three nurses have been referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in relation to Calocane's case, as revealed during a public inquiry. The Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, responsible for Calocane's care between 2020 and 2022, has been scrutinized for its handling of his treatment.
The incident has raised broader concerns about patient privacy and trust within NHS institutions. Meanwhile, families involved in a separate maternity inquiry involving NUH are calling for a meeting with Health Secretary James Murray ahead of an independent report due to be published on June 24.
