NHS staff investigated over potential accessing of tiger victim’s records

Yorkshire ambulance service says workers may have accessed or attempted to access information ‘without legitimate reason’

NHS staff may have accessed the medical records of a man killed by a tiger at a wildlife park “without legitimate permission”, an ambulance trust has said.

Yorkshire ambulance service NHS trust has launched an investigation into two members of staff at the trust, which responded to emergency calls on Saturday when William Chapman climbed into the tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
