<p>Detention Services Order (DSO) 01/2016 sets out the Home Office’s policy on the
protection, use and sharing of detainees’ medical information. As set out in this
DSO the medical record is a confidential document and is the property of the detainee.</p><p>In
the case of an unescorted removal, the medical record is handed over to the detainee
at the point of boarding the aircraft. During an escorted removal, the escort staff
will hold the record until the end of the escort, when it is given over to the detainee
before they are received by their own authorities. If the detainee does not want the
record, the escort staff will return it to the UK where it will be securely stored.</p>
