FROM Collins Place Medical CentreTO another General Practice:
We are required by law to retain all medical records for a minimum period of time. If you would like to move your medical records to a different GP clinic, we will promptly arrange a Health Summary to be sent to your new clinic. We do not charge a fee for sending a Health Summary to another clinic, but we reserve the right to charge a fee covering our costs if the other clinic requests a detailed file which needs more admin time and software and/or postage costs. If this applies, we will contact you about the fee.
