This work covers obtaining medical records held by NHS bodies or private providers in England, including hospital, GP, and clinician notes and related communications. A solicitor handles the process by drafting and submitting subject access requests under the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and, where relevant, under the Access to Health Records Act 1990. They chase responses, review disclosures for third‑party information and redaction, challenge refusals, and liaise with data controllers such as NHS trusts, general practices, and care providers to ensure a complete and usable record is released.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Solicitors manage the mechanics of data access: preparing precise requests, identifying all relevant records, negotiating formats and timeframes, handling fees for copies where lawful, assessing redactions, and addressing any unlawful withholding. They explain what information can be accessed, what must be kept confidential, and how to appeal if access is refused, including potential escalation to the Information Commissioner's Office. They also coordinate with data controllers and, if needed, with other professionals to support remedies or investigations arising from the records.
