Upon receipt of a formal request to transfer your file to another practice, we will prepare and send a concise health summary along with any copies of results and relevant documents. For an electronic transfer there is no fee, however, if the records cannot be transferred electronically then an administrative fee applies. You will be advised of this fee before processing the request.
Your Rights
If you have a problem with our service, we would like to hear about it. Please feel free to talk to your doctor or the receptionist. You may prefer to write to us or use our suggestion box. We take your concerns, suggestions and complaints seriously.
We believe problems are best dealt with through the practice. However, if you wish to take the matter further, or feel that you need to discuss the matter outside of the surgery, please contact the Office of the Health Ombudsman on 133 646 or visit their website to find out more.
