MEDICAL SPECIAL CASE FILES

Early day motion 448, tabled 7 December 2006 by John Hemming (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 1 member.

That this House welcomes the fact that 4,499 hitherto medical special case files will be incorporated into the medical records at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire and Royal Brompton hospitals; expresses concern that the doctor responsible for this unacceptable situation will be in a position to filter the information that is kept out of the proper medical records; notes with incredulity that the University Hospital of North Staffordshire continues to refuse to indicate whether it will tell patients individually whether medical files on them have been held; and calls for an independent body to be brought in to handle the process of rectifying the medical records.
