Any NHS snooping data breaches can cause significant distress for those who are affected, and we can represent victims of such incidents on a No Win, No Fee basis.<\/p>\n

One of the major medical data breach group actions that we represent people for involves a mass NHS snooping event, and we have represented a number of individuals for such cases over several years. The GDPR entitles us to control who knows what about us, and if this fundamental right is breached, those affected could be entitled to recover damages.<\/p>\n

Compensation claims for NHS snooping data breaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You could be entitled to claim compensation for NHS snooping data breaches, and we may be able to represent you on a No Win, No Fee basis<\/strong><\/a> for a case.<\/p>\n

It is quite common in these events for the perpetrator to snoop on the medical records of a number of people, so these can form into small group and multi-party action cases. It is often a case of the perpetrator snooping on the medical records of people they know, which is completely unacceptable and can be a breach of the GDPR.<\/p>\n

The consequences can be severe, and the data regulator for the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), can prosecute individuals for such offences. When it comes to the victims, what you could be entitled to do is pursue a claim for compensation for any unauthorised access of your medical records. If the event caused you to suffer from distress, the GDPR could entitle you to claim compensation for the distress that has been caused to you, which can be quite significant.<\/p>\n

We recognise that medical information can be particularly private and sensitive, and we do not want people to know everything about us, particularly when it is people we know. If this has happened to you, please do not hesitate to contact our team for free, no-obligation legal advice here now<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mass event: the Greater Manchester data breach<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the most recent, infamous NHS snooping data breaches was that of the Greater Manchester matter involving the Wrightington Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust.<\/p>\n

We represent a number of people claiming compensation as a result of this matter, which saw some 2,000 people receiving confirmation that their medical details may have been accessed without reason or authority. It appears that there were a number of perpetrators, and there could have been varying reasons as to why they were accessing medical information without any proper requirement to do so. The trust was forced to write to over 2,000 patients to confirm that their medical data may have been inappropriately accessed.<\/p>\n

Speak to our team about launching a case today<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Victims of NHS snooping data breaches could be entitled to recover compensation, and we may be able to represent you for a case on a No Win, No Fee basis<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

The best thing to do is speak to our team for free, no-obligation legal advice,<\/strong> which you can do by contacting us here now<\/strong><\/a>.
