HC Deb 05 February 1981 vol 998 c163W
25. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidance is given to prison doctors regarding the release of prisoners' medical records; in what circumstances prisoners are not allowed to see their records; and if he is satisfied that prison doctors are giving adequate information to their patients.

Mr. Mayhew

In the prison service, as elsewhere, the information to be given to the patient is a matter for the doctor concerned.
