Will dr’s give me DD medical records

DD is 15, she went to the doctors yesterday but won’t tell me why. I’m waiting for the morning rush to die down and then will ring the surgery and ask. If the receptionist can’t tell me, can I do a request for her medical records seeing as she’s a minor and I’m her parent? I only found out by accident so now I’m wondering how many other times she’s gone and not told me! Very very tempted to read her diary but that would be an invasion of her privacy.

Is this a joke?! Tempted to read her diary?!

I can see why she’s not confided in you!

I don’t think they can tell you anything. Surely the best thing is to sit her down and talk to her properly. Don’t break her trust.

She is entitled to her privacy, so no they won’t tell you.

But finding out why she went to the drs would also be an invasion of her privacy!
