Hi all
Hoping someone can help me. I just rang a doctor who was my GP when i was a child. Their practise is based down the country. I asked them to forward on my medical records to me as it has been 10 years since i saw them last and won't be going back to that practise.
The doctor has refused to send me the records directly and has said they will only send them on to my new GP (when i get one).
My question is, is the old GP obliged to forward me my personal records upon request?
Thanks for any input you may have
