Daven Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Once you have got your medical records you will need to employ someone with medical knowlege to interpret them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXC3000 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I hear there's a charge to see your own records And how far back do they go ? - from the day you were born ? - serious question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlittlepup Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes................ That's not right: Hospital records are normally held for a minimum of 8 years after the conclusion of treatment but but there are lots of exceptions e.g. Children and young people, maternity records, mental health records etc. GP Records GP records are normally held for 10 years after the conclusion of treatment, the patient's death or after the patient has permanently left the country. Again there are lots of exceptions. Records are fairly regularly destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daven Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 That's not right: Records are fairly regularly destroyed. This is not strictly true - there are many many exceptions. Since we don't know the OPs circumstances it is impossible to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXC3000 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 What I can't understand is, why do we have to pay to see our own records ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 What I can't understand is, why do we have to pay to see our own records ? Because it costs money to provide you with the records and someone to explain the records to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
