The health minister has told Sky News that reports suggesting staff at the London Clinic attempted to view the Princess of Wales's private medical records are 'serious'. Kensington Palace has issued a brief statement on the claims.
The allegations against staff at the London Clinic who reportedly tried to access the Princess of Wales's private medical records are 'pretty serious', health minister Maria Caulfield has told Sky News.'These rules apply to all patients, so there are very strict rules about which patient notes you can access,' she said.
She added: 'From a health perspective, it's not acceptable to be looking at people's notes, but it has been spotted and action has been taken so people can be reassured that if it does happen - particularly with electronic notes these days, it's spotted pretty quickly if someone's accessing notes that they shouldn't be.
