Liverpool University Hospital Foundation Trust Data Breach

Following the focus of online services over the past couple of decades, we have seen a large influx of cases involving people’s private information being leaked for unauthorised individuals to see. A lot of these cases have been the result of a cyber attack by malicious and anonymous individuals, often holding the information for ransom against the companies that were responsible for keeping it safe.

In this case, however, the NHS’s data breach came about as a result of negligence. Due to this, over 14,000 staff members have had their personal information leaked to those who had no right to see it. This information consisted of major private information, such as addresses and salary information.

Why are people making claims against the Liverpool University Hospital Foundation Trust?

In February 2023, the NHS announced that their company had suffered a data breach as a result of a spreadsheet that was sent with an unnoticed, hidden tab. Within this tab were the details that were leaked:

  • Names
  • Addresses
  • National Insurance Numbers
  • Salaries
  • Dates
  • Genders
  • Ethnicities


This information was sent to several managers who had no authorisation to have the information. Although it is claimed that none of the information was viewed, this is still undoubtedly a case of unauthorised access to private information. 

When exactly the breach happened is unclear, but the chief executive made a statement explaining the situation and the measures being taken to correct and prevent such incidents in the future. 

NHS Official Statement

Mr Sumner’s assurance that they follow “all the rules” to protect the data they have been entrusted with stands out, considering the fact that despite these rules being supposedly followed, such vital and revealing information was found hidden within a file sent to 24 people.

Regardless of the statement’s authenticity, the facty remains that personal information entrusted to the NHS has been leaked. And as a result, medical data breach compensation could be due to over 14,000 staff members.   

Am I eligible for the Liverpool University Hospital Foundation Trust compensation claim?

Data breach compensations are not reserved only for people who have lost out financially as a result of the breach. A great many claims have been made purely from the standpoint of emotional damage occurring as a result. After all, the possibilities of the harm that could come as a result of, say, your address being leaked are enough to cause a lot of stress and hardship to people. 

The breached Trust consists of staff from :

  • Aintree University Hospital
  • The Royal Liverpool University Hospital
  • Broadgreen Hospital
  • Liverpool University Dental Hospital


To find out if you qualify is easy. All it takes is a few seconds of your time. All you need to do is fill out a short form providing some basic details, which will then go to an expert data breach claims handler.

If you’re worrying about what such specialists would charge for their service, we have excellent news – all of our legal agents that work on data breaches work on a no-win, no-fee basis. 

This means that the claim itself will not cost you anything out of your own pocket. The fee for the service will only be required in the event of a successful claim, and would be taken from your compensation amount.
