When to use it
Use when acting for a patient who applies to the Office of the Health Ombudsman for documents it holds, under the Right to Information Act 2009.
Used for these tasks
- Respond to a patient's request for access to their health records
- Index a health-complaint file for material the damages claim cannot use
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
The tool may list the documents sought from the complaint file for the lawyer to check, and it writes nothing in the application or the declaration.
AI may
- List the document types, date ranges and file references the lawyer has identified
- Note whether the documents are the patient's personal information only, or include other information, for the lawyer's fee question
AI must not
- Must not write the application, the description of the documents, or the declaration
- Must not state an application fee
- Must not send the application
The lawyer checks
- The form is returned to the Office, and the agency named is the Office of the Health Ombudsman
- Authority to act and certified identity are attached where the form and the page require them
- Question 1 matches whether the documents contain only personal information
- The declaration, including the section 176 box, is the applicant's
- Health service complaints go on the complaint form, to the complaints address
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
