Accessing my health information and other personal information

How can I access my personal health information from ISLHD?

The Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (HRIPA) protects a specific type of personal information – referred to as personal health information – including information about your physical or mental health, disability, provision of health services or genetic information.

Medical records are generally accessed under HRIPA. The Health Information Service in the relevant hospital can assist you in applying for your record.
