Hi All, apologies if this has been posted previously.
My father has moderate to advanced dementia and is in a nursing home.
We are due to have an assessment for Nhs continuing healthcare and I have been asking the care home to supply a copy of his records to help support his application.
He generally has social care needs but also has some behavioral issues with bouts of shouting and aggression. He has been physically violent (not regularly) and has slapped, shaken a few of the carers and threatened another resident with his fist after pushing her over. The care home are doing their best (and the Dr's) to find the right medication to help alleviate the aggresion.
I think we have a small chance, due to the behaviour, of getting financial help but I really need access to his care records to help support his case.
I have a H&W LPA and have asked the care home to arrange a gdpr (?) Form so they can supply these records to me.
The care home are refusing to arrange this form and therefore refusing me access to his records.
I really wondered if there was any legislation regarding their obligation to provide access to their records??
Would appreciate any advice please.
