Mental Health Tribunal, 'Direction for disclosure of medical records to legal representatives in all cases for the duration of the Pilot Practice Direction' (25/3/20): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:05, 2 October 2021

Automatic disclosure of medical records Owing to the fact that representatives cannot arrange for patients to sign consent forms, this direction requires the responsible authority: (1) to allow immediate access to the patient's medical and nursing notes upon receipt of the CNL1 form containing the representative's name; (2) to email without delay any notes specified by the representative; and (3) to highlight any information in the notes not to be disclosed to the patient (the representative must not disclose this information without further order of the tribunal). The relevant Practice Direction was not extended beyond 18/9/21. Superseded by: Mental Health Tribunal, 'Direction for disclosure of medical records to legal representatives' (27/9/21).
