Hi Clare I recently had to approach the MDU about an issue of Data Protection. While I was on the phone I asked about the issue of third party reports, as colleagues of mine were debating this issue. I was told that the reports are part of the health records and should be submitted to the lawyers as such. If there is a third party mentioned in the report, you have to get the third party permission to release this or omit the part which will identify them. Hope this helps Kind regards Allison Caine Independent Specialist Practitioner in Occupational Health Contact numbers: Office: 01625 268609 Mobile: 07733125558 In a message dated 30/06/2008 13:13:18 GMT Daylight Time, [log in to unmask] writes: I know this has probably been discussed and advised on before, but for the life of me I can't find it in the archives. I've just had a request adn appropriate consent for release of medical notes, records etc froma lwyer in respect of a personal injuries claim of a memeber of staff of one of my contracts. I new the individual was possibly going to claim, so it wasn't a total surprise. What I need clarified is - - am I right to included the reports received from his GP & Specialist, and if so do I need their agreement to do this. However his lawyers have already asked for info etc from his GP and Specialist as well. Many thanks in advance Clare ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
