Acess to my deceased mothers medical records

Hannah Roper made this Freedom of Information request to United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust

The request was successful.

From: Hannah Roper

17 June 2011

Dear United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust,

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. In order to assist you with this request, I
am outlining my query as specifically as possible.

My mother passed away the day after i was born in 1985 and she was
very ill all throughout her short life. My family have never been
open in discussing medical matters and talking about my mother
upset them greatly. As a result of this I have very little
information in regards to her medical background. Most of my
relatives who could have told me this information have also passed
away now. I would really like to know if any of her medical history
could have an effect on me personally.

Is it at all possible to see these medical records? She was in
Lincoln hospital when she passed away if this is of any help to my
enquiry. Obviously I cant go into specific personal details on a
public website but any information you could give me would be
greatly appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Hannah Roper

I don't think that this request should be reesponded to on WhatDoTheyKnow.com. It is inappropriate for the response to be made public. This is the second request for personal information that I've spotted (I annotated that as well).
