Our daughter has been suffering from anorexia for the last 4 years.
I have a friend who is a GP and from time to time he asks how my daughter is. Recently when doing so he let slip a detail which I felt he could not possibly have known without access to my daughter's medical records. My GP friend has never been my daughter's doctor. Is it nevertheless possible for him to have read her medical notes? Does the NHS computer system allow ANY doctor to read ANY patient's notes? Or only the notes of those for whom they have clinical responsibility?
