Advice patient confidentiality

This happened last year

My uncle suddenly passed away last August,

I only just found out today, that my local GP a receptionist who works there the same GP my uncle is registered at, Messaged people who lived in my area telling them what happened to my uncle. Now at this point his kids hadn't even been told their dad had passed away.

I have a screenshot of the message she sent someone I know.

Now is it worth reporting? Seeing It's been so long

I just find it so wrong that a receptionist the day she was working messaging people about what had happened. Is it a breach of patient confidentiality?

Thanks
