<p>The implications of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on general practitioner
(GP) practices have been raised with NHS England as part of the wider General Medical
Services contract review discussions.</p><p> </p><p>The Information Governance Alliance
(IGA) co-ordinates advice on information governance issues to the health and care
system on the behalf of the Department, NHS England, NHS Digital and Public Health
England. The IGA has published a number of guidance documents to support compliance
with the GDPR requirements by National Health Service organisations. The guidance
documents will be kept under review and revised as necessary. However, as directed
by the GDPR, GP practices will not be allowed to charge third parties for subject
access to patient medical records.</p>
