If they'll accept a photocopy, we do that and charge a fee. If they
want the original notes, or if the request is at all dodgy, we refer
them to the legal dept. at the DHA. If the DHA then asks for the notes
to send out, we photocopy any important stuff beforehand. This
approach means you don't get a fee, but at least you don't have to
worry about the legal aspects.
