The Data Protection Act gives you the right to know what information is stored about you.

It puts responsibility on the practice to make sure we handle personal information responsibly and that we protect the privacy of you as an individual.

The Act covers personal information that is stored on computer, microfiche, paper, email and any other storable media.

You can, at any time, ask us what we use information about you for, and ask for a copy of any information we hold about you. You can ask us to correct any information which you believe is inaccurate.

If you wish to make a request for a copy of your personal information you must write to Ann Reay (Practice Manager) at the practice. The practice will need to verify your identity to ensure that we are not giving out someone else's personal information to another person. The practice is allowed to make a charge for photocopying your medical record and this currently stands at £10.00. The practice is obliged to get the information to you within 40 days.

By law we do not have to supply personal information where dealing with the request would involve excessive time and expense, or where the information includes sensitive personal information, the disclosure of which may harm the individual concerned.

We do not need to supply personal information when the information is required for crime prevention or taxation purposes or where the information includes details about another individual.

If at any time another public body makes a request to us for information about an individual, then we would first check that this body has the authority under the Data Protection Act, or that you had given your consent to them to ask for this information.
