Hi Bloggers
I have today located a guide to help professionals understand what can or should be shared when it comes to personal information.
http://www.hscic.gov.uk/media/12822/Guide-to-confidentiality-in-health-and-social-care/pdf/HSCIC-guide-to-confidentiality.pdf
In our case I hold no doubt to my grandfarthers intention for information to be shared with me when it come to his Medical Records or Social Care Notes.
This guide is very informative and serves both to protect the individuals rights if they do not want information about them shared with others and provides a guideline to professionals.
It is good to see however that the document addresses the serious issue of data validity in Rule 1 part C.
This part reflects the importance of the Data Protection Act in which data should be accurate and fit for purpose.
The quick question for you good folkes.
If the collected information is not accurate or fit for purpose how would the public ever know and who could ever hold the culprits to account.
Where a data holder insists that an individual has no capacity to consent to release of data to family the data accuracy can not be suitably viewed for consistency or accuracy.
Our problem is that grandad has multiple times given verbally and written consent for myself specifically to view the social care file prior to the onset of his illness.
The NHS decision made in response to his request for data to be shared is that he has no capacity and will never regain any
We have his consent, We are his Next Of Kin,
We want answers
