    Question Doctors charge for password

    My wife's consultant needed some info from her medical notes. The GP supplied them on disc but wants £50 for the password to unlock the info.

    Is the info on the disc covered by the DPA

    Medical practitioners have special rules and can charge up to £50 for the DPA request, I was charged £40 for all my records.

    In affect yes they can!

    Surley though the doctors have a professional duty for the patience well being before profiteering.

    What would happen if a consultant or docter gave the wrong advice or worse still prescription because they were unable to make a professional judgement based on the medical history because a doctor was withholding medical notes.

    Someone in my opinon would be negligent of professional mis-conduct surely, and I know who I would be blaming the man trying to profit.

    I understand, and I am not sure why a doctor wouldn't give a consultant the records in any case....

    But the charge is legal if people need access to them.

    I don't dispute the charge although a little excessive maybe at 50.00, but I would take the approach if I were a doctor get the the treatment they require we'll worry and argue about the money later.
