Summary:
I am writing to express my disappointment - and dissatisfaction - with this response. According to your letter, NHS Lothian’s patient information system holds patient records relating to ALL NHS patient health services. It is encouraging to know that all records are held in one system, as this suggests that patients could easily have one point of access for all their ongoing records - at least in Lothian. However, you go on to say that any request for automatic ongoing access to test results or correspondence should be made locally with the clinical team, and MAY be granted, and only if manageable. This is extremely disappointing, and problematic on a number of grounds. Firstly, it runs contrary to the NHS charter, which gives patients a right of access to their health records. I understand this to be a general right, not a right which can be withheld by individual clinical departments. Secondly, it is unclear why decision-making on access is devolved to individual clinical departments when records are held in one system for the whole of Lothian. It would be helpful to know what system you are referring to (The NHS portal? PACs? Or what?); and why it is not accessible to individual patients who request it. Thirdly, you suggest that patients can make an access request to the NHS Lothian SAR Team. From my own experience, as noted in my original email, such requests only enable access to historic, rather than ongoing, records. Similarly the eComms system (which I joined as soon as I moved to Lothian) is irrelevant to my query as it does not - as you yourself acknowledge - provide access to medical records. Fourthly, the arrangements you describe for ongoing access are not at all user-friendly from the patient perspective, and - most importantly - fail to guarantee access. Speaking personally, I am currently involved with 3 different departments (respiratory, orthopaedic and breast cancer) in 2 different NHS hospitals in Lothian. Do I really have to negotiate with all of these individually to get my results/records; and accept that some or all of them may deny me access? Denying patients their right to see their results/records (as opposed to being given a brief, verbal outline of them) limits their ability to make informed decisions about their health care, and flies in the face of ‘No decision about me without me’. Finally, whilst I appreciate that the NHS is currently facing extremely difficult challenges, the arrangements you describe - such as they are - for patients’ ongoing access to their health records would seem to place an unnecessary extra burden on clinical staff just when they least need it. In view of the above, I am asking that you review your response, which attempts to justify arrangements in place in Lothian which prevent me from having automatic ongoing access to my medical test results, correspondence, reports etc.

1. Involving managers - or others - in non intimate out patient appointments. You mentioned there aren’t procedures for involving managers in out patient appointments. Does this also apply to involving leads, directors or nurses in any out patient appointments other than intimate examinations or procedures? 2. Are there any situations outside of intimate examinations, when a consultant in Lothian can bring a manager, lead or clinical director into outpatient appointments? If so, on what grounds, and do they need to notify a patient in advance or seek consent? 3. Is there a chaperone policy for non intimate examinations or procedures or appointments? e.g. Can a patient bring a chaperone into an endoscopy procedure? 4.How hospital consultants should handle patient requests for a second opinion. This URL link isn't working and I can’t find this on the website… NHS Lothian Safe Haven - Out of Area Referrals for Lothian patients (scot.nhs.uk) 5. National standards. From your reply, it sounds as if the only National Standards that apply are to waiting times only. I had been told Drs need to comply with national standards for outpatient appointment times. e.g. 30 mins for a first outpatient appointment and 10-15minutes for a follow up, and that these times are generally fixed, irrespective of the complexity, number of organs or systems affected or the rarity of a patients condition. Is this correct? 6. How to apply national standards for patients with a condition affecting multiple organs and systems. Do Drs have discretion on how much time to apply when its not just one body bit they are treating or answering questions on?

I appreciate that intensity will necessary vary depending on patient need. However, we are particularly interested in whether such services are resourced to provide the level of intensity that could provide a viable alternative to admission (in many cases). Do day service patients generally attend the clinic for all 5 days and for 8 hours per day? If this isn't the standard at the start of treatment, is it available for those deemed to require it? Regarding supervised meal support, can children and young people, when clinically indicated, receive support with breakfast and/or dinner/evening meal, as well as lunch and 2 snacks? Would patients receiving 5 contacts per week from the adult service, typically have these spread out at one per day?
