Hi all,
I have a questions I am unsure about:
Who owns patient records? I know the patient would have to apply to their healthcare provider to view or obtain a copy of their record, the provider would then have to assess if that would cause them any harm or distress. However under which act or legislation does it state who actually owns the records?
Has anyone looked into this in the past?
Thanks for your help
Naya
