No other charges may be made. The NHS Executive guidance makes it clear to healthcare providers that 'it is a perfectly proper use' of the 1990 Act to request records in that framework for the purpose of potential or actual litigation, whether against a third party or against the hospital or trust. That the common practice of setting a standard rate for an application or charging an administration fee is not acceptable because there will be cases when this fails to comply with the 1990 Act. Additional charges for copying X-rays are permissible. Documents larger than A4 in the original, e.g. ITU charts, should be reproduced in A3, or reduced to A4 where this retains readability.
Documents are only copied on one side of paper, unless the original is two sided.
Documents should not be unnecessarily shuffled or bound and holes should not be made in the copied papers. I have not included the forms themselves on this page.
