About this form
In order to proceed with your claim, your solicitor may need to see your health records. Solicitors usually need to see
all your records as they need to assess which parts are relevant to your case. (Past medical history is often relevant to
a claim for compensation.) Also, if your claim goes ahead, the person you are making the claim against will ask for
copies of important documents. Under court rules, they may see all your health records. So your solicitor needs to be
familiar with all your records.
