Nottingham: The NHS is facing pressure over its decision not to publish the full report on Valdo Calocane. This report is about the care he received before his attacks.
Families of the victims are really upset. They want the full report made public. They believe it’s important for safety and transparency.
Calocane killed three people in June 2023. He was found not guilty of murder due to mental health issues. Instead, he was sentenced for manslaughter and attempted murder.
Radd Seiger, an adviser for the families, has spoken out. He said they’ve reached out to the NHS to push for the full findings to be shared.
The NHS has stated that they must follow confidentiality laws. They say only one trust will see the full report, while others will only get a summary.
Families are also calling for a public inquiry into the attacks. They want it to be a statutory inquiry, which means it can compel witnesses to testify.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has promised this inquiry. The families hope it will bring more clarity and accountability.
