Policy on falsified notes and documents

The request was refused by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board.

Dear Aneurin Bevan University Health Board,
What is your policy on the discovery of falsified notes/ documents and what is your disciplinary action.
Notes..both medical and nursing are a legal document and are not allowed to be altered. To do this or ignore this is a crime and perverting the course of justice. Any member of staff regardless of grade is guilty including the Ceo

Yours faithfully,

Celia Jones

Dear Ms Jones,

Thank you for your email. I would refer you to the Health Board's response to your FOI request (reference FOI 18524) dated 20 December 2018, in which a copy of the All Wales Disciplinary Policy and Procedure was provided. Whilst this does not specify falsified notes and documents, it does include all cases where disciplinary action may be taken.

Yours sincerely,

Rona Button
