Afternoon all

I just need confirmation on something.

A Primary Care Trust client has been asked by a GP practice whether they can 
destroy all their paper patient records, as they have now all been scanned 
into their computer.

Personally, I do not think there is a problem destroying the paper docs, as 
long as there has been an audit to ensure that the docs scanned accurately.

Does anyone have a different view?

Thanks
