No poll just wondering exactly what you would do?

The summary care report was in with mine and had name, address, DOB, full medical history including details on social services and CAMHS involvement

Probably read the name, realise it wasn’t mine so wouldn’t read history/referrals and return it in an envelope to the surgery.

Firstly, I wouldn’t read it.

That’s a bit ridiculous. Also didn’t answer the question.

I was reading mine and theirs was behind mine. I was half way down the page before I checked the top where name was as I realised it was not my record

call the office, and return the document or shred.

Yes just that really

What else would you do?
