    and yes because it displays a complete regard for any of my equality rights and confirms what they deny


    Absolute nonsense.


    Your story doesn't make sense, it's simple though, just name the surgery.

    dear guest 101 gps are classed as nhs in relation to NHS CCG, NHS PCT, and as such are also bound by public services equality duty.and listed under nhs services ergo - we are NHS

    whilst a doctor is self employed i am classed as an nhs worker

    thank you for the lack of sensible answers this was not to debate semantics but to ask for help. It appears
    that your interest is to be a smart !!!! not to help

    Dear VanDal,


    You're arguing with the wrong person. PCT's don't exist anymore. GPs do work for CCGs, but:
    1: Your employer is a company called "XXX Medical" or similar
    2: You do not work for a CCG, so it's irrelevant, YOU are not an NHS employee (though you may get similar benefits)


    You offer NHS services, just like a dentist, but you are NOT NHS.


    You are NOT classed as an NHS worker, though your employer is perfectly entitled to offer similar benefits.


    Not at all, I'm happy to help, but that only works when people start of with the right information.


    To Summarise, a hospital trust, with 400,000 patients and 5000 employes and 5 hospitals has 12 people in an IT team.
    A GP surgery, with 4 - 5 doctors and maybe 5000-10,000 patients, with 1 website and maybe a dozen PCs DOES NOT employ an IT technician.


    Your employer (presumably you mean the surgery manager) would not have access to your records, unless you signed a contract giving them access. Nor should you use your employer to provide your primary care needs.


    Since you haven't disclosed what discrimination or harassment you've suffered I cant comment on that.


    The only bit you are correct about, is that to provide NHS services the surgery must comply with NHS guidelines, however that doesn't make you an NHS employee (take a look at your payslip) - or simply name the surgery.

    The only way you'd know that is if you accessed it without consent.

    What?


    1: who is your employer?
    2: There is no central medical record, perhaps the company keep THEIR OWN records on you
    3: A solicitor is not on dodgy ground, being aware of an illegal act. They just cannot claim to not have knowledge of it. Just like anyone else really!
    4: How do you have 'audited proof'



    2. isn't true anymore. There is now a central record which can be accessed, to aid in ER and accidents on holiday etc.


    But I understand consent had to be given, or rather by negative resolution, ie a patient had to object in writing to their records being made available in the way. Not sure if it's nationwide or just in pilot areas, but it's been in Merseyside for 3 years.


    3. A solicitor could be reported to the SRA if this were true, as they have a duty to report.


    But it's equally true that it may be difficult to prove.


    But do not name the surgery on here as other posters have suggested.


    Occupational health records are separate; but, again, your consent would usually be required - although they are also a disclosable document in most PI claims (if you have one ongoing). Did you perhaps sign a consent form in any ongoing litigation?


    You refer to a Respondent - are you therefore the Appellant in some employment law case, or DWP Appeal?
    Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer. If they wanted morality or the view of the IoD or Bank they'd ask them.

    told their solicitor and requested aditional info of who else viewed to be told" not Relevant to this matter"

    This doesn't make much sense. Are you suing them? What did you tell their solicitor and what exactly did you ask them. If your accusation is that X and Y accessed your record, then this is about X and Y and indeed, anyone else is therefore not relevant to that particular case. In any case, why would you asked who else accessed your record if as you say, you were able to find this yourself?

    101 - Infantile trolling of this board to make yourself feel better about yourself is sad. to make discriminatory comments pertaining A) to a disabled person, And B) to make comments like "Its someone who's first language isn't English " were you aware that the equality act covers trolls like yourself? and Yes trolls like you do end up being prosecuted too -

    Mersey - yes am appellant.

    No permission was requested or granted - was patient of employer (lesson learnt) during disclosure became aware of various things (like consultation notes printed 28 weeks prior to commencement of legal process

    respondent's solicitor acknowledges existence and access of such, but claims is legal because now under legal proceedings
