Subject: Non living individuals
I have received a request for information about a dead person. I realise
that the DPA doesn't apply but wondered if any one has any procedures,
particularly for medical records they could share with me regarding
proof of identity, whether proof of death ie a copy of the death
certificate is required etc from the person requesting the information.
Please reply off line.
