A hospital has launched a probe after 40 employees tried to access the medical records of the boy who was "thrown" into a crocodile enclosure.
The three-year-old, who is now in a stable condition, was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge on June 18 after entering a crocodile enclosure at Johnsons Zoo, near Huntingdon.
An investigation is now underway after Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH) said it was looking into whether staff members accessing the records of the boy were legitimate.
It has also referred itself to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
A CUH spokesman said: "We have strict policies in place to safeguard patient data and we take any breach extremely seriously.
"We know the vast majority of our 13,000 staff understand the fundamental importance of maintaining patient confidentiality and uphold the highest professional standards.
"Where any member of staff is found to have accessed patient records without legitimate clinical or operational reasons we take robust disciplinary action, including dismissal.
"As part of our response to any breach, we notify both the ICO and apologise to patients and their families affected."
