Reviewing my quick amendments to the Access to Health Records Act 1990
reveals that I had rushed them, and missed one portion!! Revising that
portion confirms Rosemarys conclusions regarding that act. My apologies to
the DOH in my earlier comment.

Subject: Access to Health Records Act 1990
Having now checked Data Protection Act 1998 Sch 16 Pt 1, I can confirm that
s.3(1) paras (a) to (e) of the Access to Health Records Act 1990 have been
repealed. The only saving (in Schedule 14 para 17) is for applications that
were being processed when the DPA repeal came into force.
My conclusion is, therefore, that the DOH website is correct and the
recently published 2nd edition of Civil Liberties and Human Rights in
England and Wales p. 557 by David Feldman, if I have understood it
correctly, is inaccurate. This is a pity, because the chapter on legal
privacy is otherwise outstanding, or so it seems to me.
