Hi Kay

 

I attended a training course on consent last year and my understanding is that copies of notes can only be released by signed authorisation by the employee to solicitor or by Court Order.

 

I would not use a signed authorisation of 2 years old and it doesn’t sound as if you have a court order.

 

I would suggest that you request an up to date authorisation (original only) or have a copy of the court order if the organisation has one

 

Kind Regards

 

 

Sarah

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Request for records without consent

 

I have had a request for OH records for an ongoing claim. These records have previosuly been sent with written consent. They have now been requested to go to the same recipients again and I have been sent the same signed request form which is 2 years old. When I queried this I was told that as the records have been requested by the court no consent is needed. Firstly I haven't been asked to send them to any court and secondly I still think signed contemporaneous consent is required. Is sending them on the request of a court (which I haven't seen) different in some way? I'm reluctant to send them, but don't want to refuse until I know whether I'm right to do so.
 
Thanks
 
Kay
