    GPs should hold records from birth. Under 16s (hospitals) should keep them until the patient is 26 and then destroyed. Over 16 held for life. I was told this by a hospital few years ago.

    The GP will still have your paper records, unless they've got lost somewhere when you changed surgeries.
