Nottingham attack survivor demands 'someone take the blame' for killing spree
Survivor Wayne Birkett demands accountability amid findings of serious care failings by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust before 2023 attack.
- Survivor Wayne Birkett demanded someone be held responsible for the Nottingham killing spree that left three people dead and others injured, involving attacker Valdo Calocane, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
- A CQC review found Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust breached management regulations and serious shortcomings in Calocane's care, including early discharge and missed follow-ups, likely contributing to the attacks.
- Birkett says he cannot remember the attack or life before it and reports daily memory gaps, severe cognitive loss, constant pain, headaches, and relearning basic skills after life-changing injuries.
- Birkett and his lawyer will meet Health Secretary Wes Streeting on February 5 ahead of a public inquiry starting February 23 that will examine NHS, police, social services, council, and Crown Prosecution Service actions.
- Calls for structural leadership change intensified as Greg Almond urged urgent government intervention due to safety risks in Nottinghamshire mental health services, where seven of its 18 services require improvement.
