But so many of the public want 'the crap'..... they want extended GP hours they want antibiotics they want to go to A&E for a cut finger they want a pill to solve life's problem AND we want good quality care when we and our loved ones are really ill and in need of care.
I'm no expert, but I think the two things operate at different ends of the process? Montgomery determines what risks must be disclosed (and recorded in medical records as such) at consultation, whereas GDPR governs what info is shared when requesting medical records. Any help?

Yes, I was thinking about that, but it seems that's playing with the letter of the law rather than the spirit. What's good for one should be good for the other, and besides records from the past my inform the risks for the future.
-
That's an interesting take. I think the other aspect here is that Montgomery is limited to info that is relevant for securing consent only, whereas GDPR relates to all patient data. Truth is, we know they weed/seed medical records. Not sure GDPR will likely change that much, tbh.
-
Particularly relevant in my case. In the absence of any alternative explanations, they appear to have been deliberately malicious, and that bears directly on the risk of all future treatment.
-
I'm told that GDPR isn't any different to the old 1990 Act in that records can be withheld on the grounds that it's against the patient's interest to see them.
-
Exactly. And once you allow that ability to exclude, it begs for cover up. Health service - the only place I know of where you have to convince the accused to hand you the evidence with which to prosecute them. And they get to decide what you see. But I'm sure it's fine...
-
The 1990 act allows for applying to the court for records, but if you can't see and then challenge the reasons NHS give the judge it's just a waste of legal fees.
