Have just been contacted by my GP who tells my wife and myself that due to a personal decision she is closing her practice at the end of March 2019. If we would like our medical files we can have same by paying a fee of €300-00. I have since found out she has serious medical issues. Thankfully my wife has always kept records and has copies of every medical concern/report over the past no of years that might have any concern. for us. My question is if this is the norm and what might happen if she became very ill and passed away before people got around to getting their medical records?
