Where it is agreed that an individual may directly inspect their medical record does access need to be supervised?
Answer Yes. The data controller should consider whether access should be supervised by the attendance of a health professional or whether an appointment should be made for supervision by a lay administrator. Lay administrators must not comment or advise on the content of the record and if the applicant raises enquiries, an appointment with a health professional should be offered.
