I recently submitted a complaint regarding Hospital records it was rejected as out of time and staff amnesia – incident occurred 2015 – despite me only recently becoming aware of this.
I have since applied for the audit trail relating to the records, as I believe misconduct has occurred. @nhsggc refused me this and said they will examine this internally and if my records have been altered/ accessed inappropriately they will deal with this. This is unacceptable as I have good reason to mistrust them. I am also certain under DP they should be meeting my request and providing me with a copy – can anyone advise?
To those who replied to my post earlier this year Excessive GP Charges for Access to Health Records- NHS Scotland. My GP was trying to apply the sales techniques of a dodgy double glazing salesman – trying to charge me £50.00. I challenged this and it was reduced to £30.00. She explained the £30.00 was for her time and referred to it as non -NHS work. I challenged this and the £30.00 became zero.
I understand from 25 May 2018, in most cases, patients must be given access to their medical records free of charge. This is due to a change in legislation - GDPR.........Thanks
