It is to use in court regarding someone elses file. I know the privacy act and all, so i might not be able to get anything but can a barrister or solictor be able to get them?
Also to get a mental insititue file, for a particular person. I need these for court to prove the insanity of this person. In Brisbane, austrailia
thanks
Please no smart comments… need real information
Are you thinking about selling your home yourself? then
Medical Records can indeed be difficult to obtain.
Usually, if you you know where the records are located: a Release is required. Now it might not be possible to get the Patient’s signature to release them. That’s where a few legal challenges enter the picture. To prove insanity and the needed records: this may very well require either a judge’s written ORDER to the hospital to have the records released. Or a subponea to the facility to provide the records For material Evidence. How to proceed? First contact the hospital and see what their restrictions are on their Records Release. That will tell you what channels you will need to go thru to get them into your hands. Hey, hope this helps! Good luck. Dr Steve
The medical records will have to be retained with a warrant.
