Medical Records and Confidentially

Why do we need information about you?

As providers of healthcare services, our staff will collect information about you so that you can receive proper care and treatment, with decisions based on the most current, complete and accurate information available.

We will keep this information, together with details about your care, only as long as is necessary.

Other uses of information

In addition to providing your treatment, we may need to use some of this information for other reasons, for example:

  • Protecting and improving Public Health
  • Investigation of complaints and legal claims
  • Clinical research, audit and training
  • Administration of services

This may require that the information is processed by non clinical health service staff, for example, administrative and clerical staff.
