Your health records
Your medical and healthcare information is just that – yours. You can ask for access to the information we hold on you for free at any time.
If you would like to see the information we hold about you, you can make a request for a copy of your medical records.
If you are seeking copies of your child’s health records, you will also need to supply proof of your child’s identity and your parental responsibility. Access to health records legislation allows us to share health records of a deceased person with authorised representative(s) or any person who may have a claim arising out of that person’s death.
If you are requesting personal information about someone who has died you will need to supply a copy of their death certificate and proof that you are the executor or a beneficiary within the last will and testament.
There is no charge for this service and all requests should be met within a calendar month.
