IT Error Wipes 11 Years of Maternity Viewing History at English Hospitals

An IT mistake at English hospitals resulted in the deletion of 11 years' worth of maternity records viewing history. The incident affected the logs that track who accessed patient records over more than a decade. While the underlying patient care data was successfully recovered, the viewing history itself could not be restored. The loss of access logs raises concerns about audit trails and accountability in handling sensitive maternity records.
