One for all you fellow HE types out there. Any comments/thoughts on the
following scenario gratefully received...
A student due to take exams here is affected by illness.
The student gave our support team permission to approach their GP for
relevant medical details. This we did, obtaining the info direct from
the GP.
Now the student has asked to see these records. What parts of which laws
might apply? (I'm particularly concerned that there's probably specific
legislation relating to medical/health records that has an influence
beyond the terms of the DP act..)
Thanks in advance,
Andrew Okey
