How does the Health Records Act apply in respect of deceased health service providers?
HPP 10 provides that the legal representative of the deceased provider must publish a notice in a newspaper circulating in the locality of the practice stating that the practice has been, or is about to be, sold, transferred or closed down and the manner in which they propose to deal with the health information held by the practice. The legal representative must also take any steps to notify individuals of these matters as set out in the guidelines issued by the Health Services Commissioner.
