Accessing your information

Medical records hold information about you. They are also sometimes called health records.

You'll have separate records for any NHS service you go to including your GP surgery, hospital, dentist or opticians.

How to get your record depends on which record it is.

As a patient, you can request a copy of your health record. To do so, you must submit your request via email to w96001.enquiries@wales.nhs.uk or in writing to the following address:

Patients do not have to pay a fee for copies of their records.

Exemptions
