Access to Personal Information. 1.7.1 Everyone has the right to ask to see what information an organisation holds on them. This Protocol spells out how this right will be given effect to in a joint working environment. In essence, a request by someone to see the information held which relates to them (known as a “subject access request”) addressed to either organisation will be taken to include any information relating to them which has been provided by the other Party, including information on any jointly held databases or held in a joint working environment such as a Community Health and Care Partnership. All Parties have a policy of being as open with people as possible, but there are circumstances (described in general terms later in this Protocol) where someone will not be given full access to their file. The procedures for subject access operated by all Parties also ensure that the rights of third parties who may be mentioned in someone else’s files are adequately respected and, where appropriate, protected. More detail on this can be found in section 7 below.
