Health records

Post by Ina » Mon Oct 24, 2016 4:10 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can write to obtain my mother's health records? She died in 2001 and for health reasons I need to know about her health problems. Her death record states that she died of cardiac arrest but I know that she also had a rare cancer and several other problems.

Hi Ina,

You can contact the archives http://www.archives.gla.ac.uk/gghb/gghbform.html

You might have to go through hoops due to data protection and closure but I would contact them in the first instance.

Best wishes,
Annette

Have you heard anything yet Ina ? There is a phone number on the bottom of that page that Annette linked to ! Maybe a call would help ? Best luck, fingers crossed.

I sent them a note on the 25th Cathy, haven't heard anything from them yet. I figured I'd give them a week or so and if I haven't heard I'll phone them.

Regards,

Ina
