In general medical records are retained for eight years from data of discharge or end of care but some may be kept longer than that e.g. if there has been a serious incident. For a child the record will be kept until the 25th or 26th birthday depending on age when discharged / last seen.
A medical release form (also known as a medical records release form or authority to release medical information) is a legal document patients can sign to permit healthcare providers to share their private health information with specified third parties.
If you or the person whose records you are requesting on behalf of are unregistered, PCSE will process the access application within 28 days. In certain circumstances, this may not be possible (for example, where the record cannot be traced, or is held by a third party storage provider outside of the control of PCSE.)
Under the Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018 and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) individuals have a legal right to apply for access to health information held about them, known as a Subject Access Request. Individuals can request NHS or private health records held by a GP, optician or dentist, or by a hospital.
A medical report/record that already exists will be accessible, for free, as a SAR. A reasonable fee can be charged for a SAR if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, however, these circumstances are likely to be rare.
