• Dept of Health 2003– “…all letters that help to improve a patient’s understanding of their
health and the care they are receiving should be copied to them as of right.”
• General Medical Council: Good Medical Practice– You must give patients the information they want or need to know
in a way they can understand.
– You must work in partnership with patients, sharing with them the information they will need to make decisions about their care
