The subject access request that cost a GP Practice £40,000.
A subject access request (SAR) is a formal request under the Data Protection Act by an individual to be able to see the information held about them by an organization. An organization receiving such a request has obligations imposed by law to provide the information. However, the data does not always have to be provided and organizations must be careful when assessing any such request.
In the matter of the Regal Chambers Surgery (GP Practice) a husband and wife were divorced acrimoniously. The husband made a SAR to the GP Practice in relation to information about his son asking for details of his son’s medical records. The son’s mother had specifically requested the GP Practice not disclose information to the father about their whereabouts. The GP Practice receiving the request responded promptly and within 4 days provided the son’s medical records which also contained the mothers telephone contact details.
The father obtained the records which were filed in the ongoing legal proceedings. Click here for more details..
