Hospital staff 'to be fired' for eyeing Britney records
A Los Angeles hospital will fire some employees and discipline others for looking at confidential medical records of Britney Spears who was treated in its psychiatric ward.
UCLA Medical Centre confirmed the action but could not say how many employees were affected. The hospital did not say when the snooping took place or which of Spears records were looked at.
The Los Angeles Times reported on its website that the breaches stemmed from incidents before Spears’ most recent treatment, but did not elaborate.
The newspaper said more than 13 employees, none of whom are doctors, would be fired.
Twelve others, including several doctors, will be disciplined otherwise for looking at her computerised records, it reported.
