Group NHS data breach legal action<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An NHS data breach legal action can be a case for compensation where large volumes of people need to bring their claims together for singular events that have affected many people. When it comes to data breach group actions, many are often cyberattacks where hackers have been able to gain access to the records for many people in one event. Cyberattacks can also encompass where swathes of information have been stolen.<\/p>\n

An NHS data breach legal action could also account for a large leak or misuse event. Whilst these can be less common, a good example is that of the Greater Manchester snooping incident that we represent people for. In this matter that involved Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, some 2,000 people a couple of years ago were notified that members of staff had been accessing medical records without any reason or authority to do so. To this day it still remains unclear as to the motives of the staff that were misusing their right of access.<\/p>\n

In a group NHS data breach legal action, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of people could group their cases together to pursue their claims in an efficient way. We can deal with the similar issues such as liability as one whilst ensuring that claims can still be settled based on the individual merits of the case.<\/p>\n

The NHS Digital Group Action<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As Group Action Lawyers, we are involved in dozens of data breach legal cases, representing thousands of people in England and Wales. An example of a group action involving our healthcare sector is that of the NHS Digital Action, whereby members of the public who had specifically opted out for their medical information to be shared, unfortunately, still had it shared. This incident stemmed from an IT error that reportedly caused an issue in marking the patients\u2019 wishes to specifically not have their information shared.<\/p>\n

Some of those affected by this incident suffered significant distress which is why victims have been able to bring a claim for data breach compensation on a No Win, No Fee basis<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n
