What responsibility is there to disclose/summarise the records of historical consultations made by other health professionals who have since left the practice?
If an organisation holds health information that is subject to an access request they may agree to give the individual access to the information in full in the manner set out in the Act. If they do not agree to give access in this manner, they must, at a minimum, give the individual an accurate summary of the health information even if the provider who wrote it is no longer part of the organisation.
