Health minister Maria Caulfield told LBC radio that police have been asked to look at The London Clinic tried to access Kate Middleton's medical records
READ MORE:Three London Clinic workers who are under investigation by management over claims they tried to access Kate Middleton's private medical records are believed to have been suspended.
The Information Commissioner's Office says it is investigating the incident as the clinic itself says it will take 'all appropriate steps' to investigate the alleged breach. The CEO of the London Clinic has vowed 'all appropriate investigatory, regulatory and disciplinary steps will be taken' as it investigates the data breach claims.
'There is no place at our hospital for those who intentionally breach the trust of any of our patients or colleagues.' It is claimed that the police could investigate the claims alongside the ICO's probe, with a source telling The Mirror: 'The IOC will deal with anything as a criminal matter which could end up in a Magistrate’s Court, but if there were further claims of wrongdoing such as a conspiracy to distribute illegally accessed information, then that could be a matter for the police.'
'So there are rules in place and the Information Commissioner can levy fines, that can be prosecutions, your regulator, so as a nurse my regulator would be the NMC , can take enforcement action… and can strike you off the register if the breach is serious enough. Jon Baines, a data protection specialist from the law firm Mishcon de Reya, told ITV News: 'Any investigation by the ICO is likely to consider whether a criminal offence might have been committed by an individual or individuals.'
Royal experts say Kate has likely been left shocked by the news of the alleged data breach - but will be too busy focusing on her own recovery to let it get to her. Quizzed by reporters today, Rishi Sunak's official spokesman has urged Brits to 'get behind the Princess of Wales'. Online trolls have suggested she is recovering from 'Brazilian butt lift surgery' or that she has even been replaced by a body double.
