The medical records of around 2,000 NHS patients in Stoke-on-Trent have been lost.
The missing records are those of patients who received physiotherapy treatment at the Haywood Hospital, part of NHS Stoke on Trent, in or before 2006. The hospital has apologised to patients for the security breach. It said in a statement:
“We are investigating the possibility of records having been destroyed under confidential conditions, in error… Procedures have already been tightened and steps are in place to ensure this does not happen again.”
