NHS(GMS) Regulations SI 2000 No 2343 1st October 2000

The terms of service for doctors contained in Schedule 2 to those Regulations are amended to enable doctors to keep medical records relating to their patients either on paper or on computer or both. Where a doctor wishes to keep records either wholly or partly on computer, he must first obtain the Health Authority's consent. Where a doctor is required to send copies of his records to the Health Authority, he may only provide them other than in written form where the Health Authority has consented. In each case, the Health Authority will only give its consent where it is satisfied by the doctor about various matters specified in these Regulations.
