It is my understanding from the FOM - OH health records generated and held by outsourced providers or contractors will normally remain the property of the OHS unless alternative contractual arrangements have been made. In general it is good practice and the interests of both employer and employee for OH records to be transferred between providers when services are handed over. However there is no legal requirement to transfer. Unfortunately in my circumstances the OH provider was reluctant, and subsequently offered a limited arrangement at a significant cost.

However a potential client has just been quoted £16,000 for the transfer of their records. We are talking outgoing NHS provider and medium sized educational establishment who has had an ad hoc service for a few years, not one of the High Street Banks or similarly sized national organisation with a million pound contract. > > I am absolutely staggered at this and never heard anything like it before.
