Subject Access Request (SARS)
Under the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Access to Health Records Act, patients have the right to request access to their medical records, either in full or in part. These requests may be subject to an administrative fee. Patient consent is required for the release of information, unless we are legally obligated to disclose it. In such cases, you or a representative (such as a solicitor) must submit a Subject Access Request, along with the appropriate consent form.
